Grandpa Wore a Six-Gun

This book is the beginning of the Charlie Hobbs story. Venture into the Old West as seen by Charlie in this coming of age Western and experience bordello life, train robberies, and living on the lam.

I thought it is pretty evident this is a work of fiction, but people keep asking me about it.
