They had beaten the harsh odds of the frontier. But for the two powerful ranchers, the most formidable trail lay ahead. There had never been a trail drive like this before... The only riches Texans had left after the Civil War were five million maverick longhorns and the brains, brawn, and boldness to drive them to market along treacherous trails. Now, Ralph Compton brings this violent and magnificent time to life in an extraordinary series based on the history-blazing trail drives. For veteran ranchers Nelson Story of Montana, and Benton McCaleb of Wyoming, it was an opportunity a man didn't pass up. In gold camps of the Black Hills, miners were hungry for beef, at boomtown prices. But within the two outfits were Indians, gunmen, Texans, lovesick cowboys, and high-spirited women. Worse, the drive would pass through Crow and Sioux territory, when Custer's defeat at the Little Big Horn was just hours away. The drives were tangled by violent grudges, stampeding herds, and dangerous deception. The two brawling outfits had one thing in common: a deadly surprise awaiting them at the end of the trail...

Deadwood Trail Dust available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 1876 was a momentous year during the Black Hills Gold Rush. The author's research on the famous Cheyenne-Black Hills Stage and Express Route, led her to numerous maps and descriptions about the trail, with dashes and dots, and a few geographical features. To better understand these stage stations and her ancestor's role as shotgun messengers, the author began to document what can still be seen today. Using the locations in this book, you can see where many of the stations used to be situated, including old horse corrals, telegraph wire roads, relics of possible stations, and numerous trail ruts made by heavy freight across the prairie. Campbell relates, "While it's been difficult to know exactly where the wheels on the famous coach rolled all of the time, it is possible to see many aspects of the Deadwood Stage route using satellite imagery based on early maps. All the credit goes to those dedicated individuals who preserved the trail years ago before there were computers. Thankfully, we no longer need to use a surveyor's measuring wheel and give dimensions in chains to study the old trail."

This story is about two pioneer families that produced half of the first "elite eight" guards employed to protect the Deadwood Stage in 1876. Shotgun messengers Gale Hill, Boone May, Jim May, and Bill May had been overlooked for more than a century, according to many historians familiar with early Deadwood. This is the first publication to record their history and family connections. This narrative explores how their extended family groups migrate from Kentucky, to Missouri, Kansas Territory, Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma Indian Territory. During the Civil War, these men began freighting into New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and eventually all the way to Deadwood. These men were freighters and trailblazers who were hired to guard the famous treasure coach, which carried gold from the Black Hills, over 200 miles along the Deadwood Trail, to the Cheyenne Depot. Each messenger's immediate family members, our ancestors, are intertwined with their historical narrative. The first volume in this series takes a genealogy approach in presenting our American History. This different look at our past, through the eyes of some of our ancestors, offers a more personal touch that results in a lasting impression, not usually obtained when studying Westward Expansion. Images of ancestors associated with historic events enable them to be brought into greater clarity using new research techniques in a digital age. Such historic accounts in our ancestor's lives enables the reader to understand them better than just the cursory impression gained from faded photographs or a few vital statistics in family registers.
