Sam Chance

By Benjamin Capps

Book Overview

In the cattle country of Northwest Texas in the late nineteenth century, a man had to be smart and tough. Sam Chance was both. Mustering out of the Confederate army as a sergeant, Chance was possessed of steady nerves and a good business head. Like so many rugged men of his day, he headed west in 1865, determined to make good and to turn his dreams into reality. When he achieves near-legendary status and makes his fortune, Chance is forced to pay the steep price that the frontier exacts in exchange for such success. Book jacket.

NONE BETTER

If you don't want to choke in the dust, freeze in the rain, dodge bullets, or risk your life riding herd on ornery cattle for a thousand miles, stay clear of this epic tale. Benjamin Capps will drag you right into the middle of the action. Because he will not compromise his principles, you find yourself rooting for a cattle baron ruthless enough to do what it takes to get the job done. In this historical western novel that reads like a fictional biography, Sam Chance has the guts and grit Old West heroes were made of. I've read hundreds of Westerns, none better than Sam Chance. My ambition is to write as well as Benjamin Capps. Frank Allan Rogers, Storyteller
