SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ROD MILLER
When Jonathon "Pinebox" Collins loses his right foot and lower leg to a cannonball in his first Civil War battle, the course of his life is forever changed. While recuperating, he learns The Dismal Trade of undertaking, the emerging art of arterial embalming, and coffin construction. His first customer is the victim of Wild Bill Hickok's first showdown, and Collins crosses paths with the legendary gunfighter-and occasionally his victims-across the Old West.
Lost love, monotony, and violence at the hands of men and Mother Nature repeatedly put the young undertaker on the road in pursuit of new places and new opportunities across the Western frontier. Violence is always there to greet him and there is never a shortage of clientele. Old West legends Phil Coe, John Wesley Hardin, Jim Levy, Porter Rockwell, Colorado Charley Utter, and Calamity Jane come and go in the life of Pinebox Collins, but death is ever-present.
Often avoided and sometimes shunned owing to his practice of The Dismal Trade, Pinebox Collins learns to drink alone. Love eludes him and friends are hard to come by. His recurring acquaintance with Wild Bill proves the most lasting, even after Hickok is in the ground.
