They died with their boots on.
So goes the old cliche that sums up the untimely demise of many a man in the Old West-and no town was wilder than the ultimate City of Sin, Dodge City. The overcrowded cemetery in Dodge was known as Boot Hill, and it was filled with some of the wildest characters in American history.
For this remarkable anthology, Robert Randisi invited the most talented Western authors of the day to tell stories of Boot Hill-the coffin-maker with a death wish, the drunken cowboy haunted by one night of greed and violence, the vigilante piano man, and the tough-talking soiled dove. With original stories by Elmer Kelton, James Reasoner, Randy Lee Eickhoff, Robert Vaughn, Richard S. Wheeler, Tom Piccirilli, Ed Gorman, and many others, as well as a classic story from John Jakes, Boot Hill is a unique and powerful collection that captures the wild and bizarre characters that populated the American West.
Featuring original short stories by Elmer Kelton, James Reasoner, Randy Lee Eickhoff, Robert Vaughan, Richard S. Wheeler, Tom Piccirilli, Ed Gorman and many others
