Clint and Zeke: Tales from the Old West (2nd Ed.)

Clint and Zeke is a book about the adventures of a Texas gunman and a Tennessee Mountain Man as they travel from Tennessee to California back to Tennessee and then to West Texas. Zeke is rash and impulsive and Clint is more thoughtful. On the travels they befriend an old Indian and a Catholic Nun who is secretly in love with Clint. Throw in an episode of time travel to San Francisco, an encounter in Dodge City with Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, Zeke trying to make friends out of a bear, and the Hatfield and McCoy Feud and you have superb adventure. Then, there is Clint's talking horse Buck, and a strange friendship between a copperhead snake and a red bone hound to mix in with Clint and Zeke's travels. A great read!
