Skye's West

They call him Mister Skye. He’s big, he’s tough, and he knows the West as few others do: the trails, the people, the weather–everything from which a tenderfoot needs to be protected. Richard S. Wheeler’s iconic Western series about mountain man and wilderness guide Barnaby Skye starts with the novel Sun River.
