About this series
What happens when a tough cowboy meets an ill-tempered grizzly bear? After trailing an outlaw, Caleb Blackwell is deep in Ute territory when he finds out. Alone, injured, and without supplies, how could the situation get any worse? A second bear and a band of Utes show him just how bad life can get.

- The Windigo
1
Prospectors lost in the North woods during a cold, desolate winter are on the verge of starving. With no game, no supplies, and no idea of which way to travel, they are desperate. Two men leave to seek food and shelter to save the small group, but never return. Then an eerie howling that raises the hackles of even the bravest among them travels on the cold wind. Could it be the Windigo?
- The People in Yonder
2
Two mountain men, Harry and Joe, stand before a strange phenomenon they found on the grassy plains–an aperture, a jagged hole in the sky. Is it an opening into another, evil dimension? The strange opening swirls with wild colors, and there are shadowy, demonic figures inside. One man is frightened, but one is mesmerized. And what does this have to do with the Battle of the Little Big Horn?
- The Divided Prey
5
A posse of five men capture a bank robber in the wilds of the Apache Mountains. A Texas Ranger, Jake Blackwell, rides with them, staying to prevent a lynching. Then their horses are stolen and death visits the camp. The Indians are supposed to be on the reservation. But are the legends of the Apache Mountains true? Will any of them survive?
- The Blackwell Claim
4
GOLD... Seeking a fortune from a pile of rocks or out of a streambed. Men from all walks of life are digging and panning for gold in the West and the Blackwell brothers are no different.

Raised tough in the hills of Tennessee, are the Blackwell brothers up to the challenges of prospecting?
- Blackwell's Run
7
The Blackwell Series - Max Blackwell is a Sergeant in the US Calvary. Then Company C is assigned a new Lieutenant - one interested only in glory and following his personal vision.

- The Galvanized Yankees of Company D
6
Several Confederate POWs were offered a choice, prison or go West to fill ranks on the frontier. Joe Evans and several Rebs from his captured outfit opted for the frontier and became 'Galvanized Yankees'. Their duties should have been endless patrols and drills with very little real Indian fighting. Trouble was someone forgot to tell the Indians.
- Blackwell Chronicles Volume 1
Award winning author Troy D. Smith presents five stories of the Blackwell family, originally from Tennessee, plus another short story that features a Blackwell as a major supporting character. These volumes of short stories will follow a set of brothers and their descendents on their adventures (or misadventures, in some cases) from the California Gold Rush in 1849 into the Twentieth Century. The first story in Volume 1, The Blackwell Claim, introduces the four Blackwell brothers: Max, Duke, Caleb and Jake. After that, my tales about the family jump around in time – Blackwell's Run occurs in 1864 with Max in the US Calvary fighting Indians. Next, The Stealing Moon takes place in 1855 and tells of Jake, a Texas Ranger, meeting a boy struggling to become a man. Blackwell's Stand is set in 1864 where Caleb has an unfortunate meeting with a grizzly and The Windigo is about Max's son Billy, and takes place during the Klondike gold rush.
