Teaser

“They say one of them mountains is gold – solid gold clear through to Reno on t’other side. Men come looking for that mountain. There’s also men that don’t hunt gold. They hunt the prospectors, rob ’em, maybe kill ’em, maybe leave ’em naked to die. Why it’s the gold fever. Stranger alone don’t dare to stop for a friendly word, nor trust a sole, nor even to sleep.”
