Wyoming Western Short Stories

Spanning nearly a century of Wyoming western storytelling, this anthology brings together the frontier imaginations of two generations W.F. Bragg Sr. and W.F. Bragg Jr. preserving a family legacy shaped by grit, romance, and the enduring spirit of the American West.W.F. Bragg Sr., writing from the 1930s through the 1960s, captured the Western Wyoming spirit as it lived in the national imagination: a place of sweeping romance, lonely riders, brave-hearted women, and the timeless struggle between justice and survival. His stories carry the charm and drama of classic pulp Westerns, filled with danger, longing, and the wide-open promise of the frontier.His son, W.F. Bragg Jr., approached the West from a different path. A Wyoming and high plains historian, he wrote fiction based on real events, actual people, and the tough truths of frontier life. His stories combine storytelling skill with historical accuracy, giving readers a clear, realistic picture of the Wyoming West as it truly was-harsh, beautiful, and unforgettable.Together, their voices form a rare and captivating portrait of the American West and Wyoming: one imagined, one remembered; one shaped by myth, the other by memory. This collection honors both traditions, inviting readers to experience the West as it was dreamed and as it was lived.Through this anthology, the spirit of both father and son rides on, their stories echoing across the vast landscapes they loved.
