**2022 Will Rogers Medallion Award Gold Winner for Western Non-Fiction - Young Readers**
Welcome to Western Writers of America’s first anthology for young readers. We invite you to journey westward with us in this collection of twenty true--and seldom-told--tales of the American West. Here you’ll meet extraordinary characters, from a young buffalo hunter of prehistoric times to riders for the Pony Express, the first African American female stagecoach driver, and the Navajo code talkers of World War II. The stories in this anthology range wide in time, topic, and mood, yet all celebrate a spirit that is uniquely Western. We hope you enjoy the ride!
