    About this ebook

    Award winning author Troy D. Smith presents six stories of the Blackwell family, originally from Tennessee, in this second volume of the Blackwell Chronicles. This volume of short stories follows a set of brothers and their kinfolk on their adventures (or misadventures, in some cases) from the American West and Frontier to the Australian Gold Rush.

    The stories in this collection include: "Blackwell Down Under," Caleb Blackwell seeks gold in Australia; "Blackwell the Highwayman," Duke Blackwell decides to see what it's like on the wrong side of the law; "The Blackwell Raid," Max Blackwell meets up with brother Jake to fight Comanches; "The Blackwell Gang," After leaving the owlhoot trail, Duke Blackwell is wanted for murders he didn't commit; "Blackwell's Star," Caleb Blackwell returns to America, tired of hunting gold; and "Blackwell Unchained," Jake Blackwell is a captured Union soldier during the War Between the States.

    Troy D. Smith

    Born in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee, Mr. Smith has loved books even before he could read them. In 1995 his first short story was accepted by Louis L'Amour Western Magazine, and he has been published in magazines since then on a fairly regular basis. Author of numerous award winning short stories and novels, Troy is currently a Doctoral candidate in the History Department at the University of Illinois. He says, "I don't write about things that happen to people—I write about people that things happen to."
