Synopsis
If you enjoy these excerpts
we guarantee you'll enjoy the rest - or your money back. No
bull.
Old
West Posters We've
developed an original line of Old West Poster Art - and frankly
we think there's nothing like it any where else. Old West Heroes
like Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickock, George Armstrong
Custer, and Gunfighters like Jesse James, Butch and Sundance,
John Wesley Hardin, Billy The Kid, and Doc Holliday have all
been faithfully portrayed in the context of their times.
The
Wild West is in its last days. In August of 1896 gold is discovered
on Rabbit Creek,
a tributary of the Klondike River, in the wilds of northwestern
Canada. It's quickly renamed Bonanza Creek, and the largest
gold rush in history is on.

"The
Last Best West is the story of Wasey Bruce and his quest for
justice against the evil Poke Roberts. After committing yet
another heinous crime, Poke decides that Klondike Gold Rush
country is where he and his cronies need to be. Meanwhile,
Wasey has received word to put a muzzle on Poke and his outlaws.
Wasey
packs up his cousin, his wife and a friend to make the long
trek. The four experience a wonderful journey that highlights
the Old West countryside and the wild days of yesteryear.
The Last Best West is also a refreshing Western in that the
female characters are more prominent and less supporting."

Longfellow
researched the designs based on historical photos
and original mail order catalogues from the late
1800's and the early decades of the 20th Century.
Of particular help was the Smithsonian Website,
the Library, and the archives of the Glenbow Museum
in Calgary. And of course those great Hollywood
Westerns.
