The game won't be moving again for an hour or two, and there may be moose or caribou a gunshot ahead. We couldn't hear them—now!"

Abigail Baldwyn might not be a widow after all.... Ever since she received word that her husband, Robert, was killed in the Civil War, Abigail has struggled to keep her Tennessee home and family together. Then a letter arrives claiming that Robert isn't dead, yet he has no plans to return. Desperate for answers, Abigail travels to Independence, Missouri, where she joins a westbound wagon train to find him. Leading a company along the Oregon Trail isn't part of Hoke Mathews's plans. But then the former cavalry scout gets a glimpse of Abigail--so elegant compared to the rest of their hardscrabble wagon community, yet spirited and resilient. Through every peril they encounter--snakebites, Indian raids, fevers, dangerous grudges--his bond with Abigail grows. Abigail knew this journey would test her courage. Now it's testing her marriage vows and her heart, daring her to claim a future on her own terms in a land rich with promise.

Famous Old West Murder Mysteries contains some of the most celebrated, dreadful, savage, and brutal killings in history during the early eighteen hundreds. Some cases were solved and justice was rendered at the end of a gun or a vigilante rope. Many cases went unsolved, unreported, and were unknown due to the lack of slow law enforcements, unobtainable information, and inability to carry out a true investigation. Before witnesses could be found, if there were any, the criminals were long gone and never apprehended or arrested.
