The Death of José: A Western Frontier Story

By Everett Riggs

José seeks adventure and gold. Vigilantes want his life. Death is riding to Bannack.

José travels the western frontier seeking adventure and fortune, but his past haunts him. He arrives in the mining camp of Bannack in the fall of 1863. José will soon be caught up in circumstances beyond his control. Vigilantes are coming to hang the Sheriff, and he will become a target of their wrath. Does redemption lie in this world or the next one?

The Death of José is a revisionist western story of love, violence, and redemption.
