From our Purveyor of Books:
I look forward to going into our store everyday because I know, without a doubt, someone interesting will stop by. I wasn't disappointed when author Troy Andrew Smith showed up at our door one day last fall. He's a local resident with an amazing personal story. This book, his first, was due to be published in the spring and his enthusiasm for the work, and life, was contagious. Here is a man of strong conviction, an author of the West who knows it intimately. I knew I would like the book because I liked the man.

Troy is cowboy in the purest sense of the word. Compassionate. Honest. Firm Handshake, Straight Talker, Warm Smile with Twinkling Clear Eyes. Come meet him at OutWest or the Buckaroo Book Shop at the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival.

From the Publisher:
In the Good Lord's year of 1871, U.S. Deputy Marshal Dell Williams, is on his way to the gold camp of Radersburg in the Montana Territory. He is to investigate a string of robberies and the mysterious death of a Senator's Son-in-law when he is ambushed. So begins a most riveting, edge-of-your-seat novel filled with richly developed characters who literally jump off the page.

What Others Are Saying:
"Radersburg Gold is a rare story...a fresh idea with rich and interesting characters. An unexpected twist and an even more unexpected ending."
                 -Doug Metzger (Producer/Director/1st AD) "Dances with Wolves," "The Italian Job," "Wonder Boys," and "Flicka"

About the Artist:
Cover artwork is by Jack Sorenson. Sorenson grew up living the scenes of the wild West that he paints today. As a kid in Texas he roamed at will through Six Gun City, an Old West frontier town and tourist attraction that his dad built near the Palo Duro Canyon.

Jack's love of art is similarly deep-rooted.

After Jack's first one-man show sold out in 1975, he quit his day job as a horse-breaker and began painting full-time. Today his paintings hang in numerous private and corporate collections, and he ranks as one of Leanin' Tree's best-selling Western greeting card artists. He has published two books featuring his paintings and Jack's work has also graced the covers of Western Horseman, the Quarter Horse Journal and The Cattleman.
