Items related to Flint's Truth
Sam Flint's new weekly, the Oro Blanco Nugget, stands for fairness and justice and compassion in a rough New Mexico town that has none of these things. Flint's a tough frontier newspaper editor, with high ideals, and he doesn't mind a good fight. Like most newsmen on the frontier, he keeps a revolver handy, and keeps an eye out for the occasional rancher who walks in with a horsewhip or balled fists.
In Oro Blanco, Flint discovers trouble. The town's original inhabitants are being ruthlessly driven off their homes and farms to make room for Yankee newcomers. Flint rushes to the defense of the humble, only to find his paper torn to pieces by armed toughs who know how to destroy fonts, presses, as well as flesh and bones.
This is one of three novels the author wrote about Sam Flint, frontier editor.

About the Author:
Richard S. Wheeler is the award-winning author of over fifty western and historical novels.
From AudioFile:
The second entry in Wheeler's Western triology finds frontier journalist Sam Flint setting up his print shop in Oro Blanco, New Mexico. Narrator Cullen is challenged by the variety of characters that have ended up in this out-of-the-way spot--Irish and Cornish miners, a proper Bostonian lady, a Texas lawman and numerous Hispanics. Cullen handles the accents with aplomb and differentiates genders without strain. Though not a spellbinding story, the details and attitudes of the period are authentically presented. S.C.A.
