A pair of nomadic cowboys are ‘asked’ to leave Deadwood and travel south to what they think would be gold country. Along the way, the two vagabonds manage to get in trouble, help others, cause trouble, and find the gold they set out for.

Their adventures are rollicking fun some of the time, incredibly dangerous often, and they are able to maintain their dignity most of the time. One might call them searchers…always looking for something, not knowing what that something is.

U.S. Marshal Bull Morrison and his deputy, Slim Calhoun, ride into Aurora, a rowdy Nevada mining camp, to escort a large gold shipment to the U.S. Mint in Carson City. A gang, led by local businessmen and the deputy city marshal are determined to make that gold shipment their own. Bull Morrison is usually looking to pick a fight and his partner is often found egging him on. They are delighted to find the deputy city marshal is a psychopath and is also looking to pick a fight.

Chasing bad guys in a blizzard on a high mountain pass near the 9,000 foot level is just one of the obstacles faced by Bull and Slim. It gets worse as the blustering and inept gang leaders try to hire killers to save their necks.

Thieving and hijacking plans deteriorate to chaos, men die, women are abducted, and Aurora, the Goddess of Dawn, Burns.

The fight to rid the county of corrupted office holders is also a good lesson in civics for his adopted son, Rob, who fights right alongside Jack Slater. Despite his young age, Rob becomes a man. There were good men who allowed themselves to be corrupted and others who looked to be.

SADDLE-UP FOR GUNFIGHTS, SALOON BRAWLS, A TOUCH OF ROMANCE, AND MAYHEM IN THE OLD WEST.

The southeastern Nevada mining camp of Pioche was known as one of the most corrupt and dangerous communities in the silver state. When it was rumored that a federal judge might be involved in schemes dealing with water and land issues, U.S. Marshal Bull Morrison and his deputy, Slim Calhoun were sent to investigate. They discovered rampant lawlessness led by a corpulent mine owner and allegedly backed by a federal judge in Salt Lake City.

The marshals were outnumbered and outgunned, but when they called for help from the local citizens, they got it. Schemes to control the waters of Lincoln County, to illegally acquire existing ranches, and to sell non-existent mines or phony stocks were among the crimes taking place.
