Rough Rider

Buckey O'Neill was famous in Arizona Territory as a gambler, lawyer, newspaperman, miner, sheriff, and politician. This fast-moving narrative takes him from the streets of Tombstone all the way to Cuba, where he won Theodore Roosevelt's admiration as the wildest and bravest of the Rough Riders.

Dale L. Walker has twice won the Spur Award from the Western Writers of America. His books include Will Henry’s West and In a Far Country: Jack London’s Tales of the West.
