Omschrijving

When naïve Englishman Baron Jerome Manchester Paget arrives in 1878 Fort Griffin with a satchel full of money to start a buffalo ranch and expand his wealth, a horde of colorful swindlers from throughout Texas arrive to relieve him of his fortune and to destroy his dream. With a passel of oddball characters and more twists and turns than a stagecoach trail, The Fleecing of Fort Griffin starts a cascade of swindles, counter-swindles, and comic miscalculations aimed at taking the baron for all he is worth.

To stay rich-and alive, the baron must outwit crooked West Texas gamblers, a one-eyed gunfighter, a savvy marshal, conniving females, a disenchanted army colonel, and a worldly stump preacher, all convinced they're smarter than him. With only a young orphan for a valet and a rooster for a watchdog as his allies, Baron Paget must navigate frontier greed, vanity and hubris to survive.

Written by Spur Award-winning author Preston Lewis, a master of western plot twists and humor, The Fleecing of Fort Griffin blends period authenticity with razor-sharp wit and colorful dialogue to take readers on an unconventional and uproarious journey through the Old West.

A classic of American frontier humor, The Fleecing of Fort Griffin evokes the tall-tale spirit of the Old West for readers who like their Westerns with a smile and a wink at the history of the time.

With a passel of oddball characters and more twists and turns than a stagecoach trail, The Fleecing of Fort Griffin starts a cascade of swindles, counter-swindles, and comic miscalculations leading to a surprising conclusion.
