Stuart Brannon found gold! But the struggle to keep it could cost him his life. After months of digging in the mountains of southwestern Colorado, Stuart Brannon and Edwin Fletcher finally hit the mother lode. But someone else is after their claim. Under attack, they fortify the mine and ally themselves with three Ute Indians. Soon they find themselves fighting both a professional gunman and the powerful Colorado Southern Mining Corporation. In False Claims at the Little Stephen Mine, Brannon deals with both the threat to his claim and, much to his surprise, with his own greed as he comes to terms with his newfound riches. Fans of Zane Grey, Luke Short, and Louis L'Amour will enjoy this fast-moving tale of life in the Old West.
