About this title

Synopsis

Ira Beard hunted Joaquin, the mountain bandit. In the Civil War he chased Confederate rebels. Now he's settled down with a family and business, hoping for some peace and quiet. He has seen San Francisco through riots, fires, earthquake and war. It's time for a change.

Then a banker sends him on a mission to inspect a new silver mine down in the Mojave, where not many men will go. The job sounds like a nice break from routine. What Ira doesn't expect is a Paiute curse, swindlers, double dealers and murder. The problem comes down to how to get out alive. Later, he won't even talk to his son about it.

This is Ira Beard book 3.

About the Author

About the author: Following a previous life, he has turned his attention to telling stories about the Old West during the 19th and early 20th centuries. He has discovered there are thousands of untold stories to be found in old newspapers, magazines, and sometimes even history books. The stories he writes are mostly made-up fiction, but then so are a lot of history books. He has learned that what people most value are not the bare bone facts of the past, but the stories we tell about them. Steve (whose friends mostly refer to him as "Bart") derives his idea from listening to people, walking around old neighborhoods, and a lot of reading. As for his previous life, he had an undistinguished career in civil service. His first actual job was in the U.S. Army. Someday he may write a book titled "All I Need to Know I learned in the Army." He now lives in a rural part of northern California, where he likes to listen to folks and look at trees.
