Description: Buck Branson took top honors when it came to hard riding and fast shooting. But his dream was to own a ranch. When a salty cowpoke named Old Tom showed him a faded scrap that was supposed to be a map to a lost mine full of treasure, Buck just couldn't resist. Instead of gold or silver, though, he found coal. Not exactly riches, but mighty valuable in its own right as the iron horses rolling over the reals needed fuel. But before Huck can cash in and claim his ranch, he'll have to face ruthless renegades and the ominous echoes of Indian war drums in the night....
