Christmas In the West

A collection of Christmas tales like no others -- tales of the Old West and the New West, tales of faith and tales of doubt, of adventure and romance. Some are bawdy -- there's a fair amount of adult content here -- some are sentimental . . . all deal with the miracle that is Christmas, and the timeless heritage of the American frontier.

RED COLLINS -- The story of a nervous killer whose heart is touched by a small boy's Christmas dream . . .

GIFTS -- Six whores cook up a Christmas surprise for the patrons of the Desperate Chance saloon in Abilene, Kansas and create a delirious frontier legend . . .

THE ANGEL -- Two drifting cowboys, lost souls of the range, are visited by an angel on Christmas Eve who brings glad tidings to both of them . . .

CHRISTMAS IN DECEMBER -- An alcoholic father deserted by his wife takes his 16 year-old son to modern-day Las Vegas for Christmas, where both receive gifts of the heart that just might change their lives forever . . .

TWILIGHT -- The last days of the horse-mounted U. S. Cavalry, and the bittersweet end of one old horse soldier's life in it . . .

NOEL -- A little pioneer girl and an old Shoshone Indian spend a strange and harrowing Christmas together in a snowbound cabin in the Tetons . . .
