Marcy provided the overland pioneer with literally life-or-death advice on packing, choosing the best routes to California, wagon maintenance and the selection and care of horses, food supplies, packing, traveling, fording rivers, tracking, and bivouacking on the plains, finding and treating water, building a fire, avoiding quicksand, treating snakebites, and other first-aid procedures.

Marcy also conveys information "concerning the habits of Indians," including Native American tracking and hunting techniques, smoke signals and sign language, and battle tactics.

Ridges of Leavenworth County StoryChasers

About Spears Mint Editions:

The Spears decided to combine this observation with their knowledge of the pulp fiction era.

They decided to give adult readers what they wanted:

Shorter books (50,000 to 65,000 words instead of the standard 70,000 to 125,000 words)
Tightly written without too much description
Exciting story lines that pull the readers through quickly--entertainment is our goal
Novels of place with recognizable features

We're starting with Bob Spear's mystery series set in Leavenworth;
however, we will be adding other genres & authors and locales.
