ONE CRAZY COW TOWN Clint Adams has passed through some wild cow towns in his life, but none more unusual than Chester, Utah. The welcome wagon consists of a dead body no one is willing to bury. On the most-wanted list is a retired miner who got off a lucky shot, and the sheriff is more interested in breaking the law than upholding it. At the center of it all is snake-oil salesman Henry Whiteoak. Seems the con man swindled some very valuable property away from some very dangerous people.

As a freelance writer, Jack Naile was used to getting an occasional letter from one of his readers, but when one of those readers sent him a clipping from a magazine, it would not only change his life, but could alter the course of history as well. The clipping had a photo, taken in Nevada in 1903, of a street scene, including a story with a sign, _Jack Naile¾General Merchandise.Ó Intrigued, Jack phoned the Nevada towns historian and asked for more information. When the historian sent him a photo of the 19th century Jack Naile, what had seemed like an interesting coincidence immediately became much more bizarre. The four people in the photo, dressed in the style of the time, were unmistakably Jack, his wife, their grown son and teenage daughter. Jack decided he would have to take a trip to that town to investigate further. And if he and his family were somehow going to travel back in time, he was going to be prepared¾and be well-armed.
