THE WEST: LAND OF OPPORTUNITY (A Collection) consists of nineteen enticing short stories written by best-selling author Johnny Gunn. Each tale is introduced with an inviting illustration by esteemed artist Barabash Sviatoslav. In this anthology, we learn of all types of Westerners and ranchers attempting to make a living in the rugged landscape. The reader will discover cowboys and cattle drives, miners, bartenders, lawmen, both crooked and good, and a youngster wanting to become a bad man and make a name for himself. We follow a talkative and captivating army corporal who has spent his career in constant combat as those around wonder if his stories are exaggerated. We learn about a past prisoner trying to start a new life by training horses and about a tracker and bounty hunter who encounters the most “alien” situation. There are good men fighting bad men and westerners of all ages and trades attempting to do their best under challenging circumstances. There is a reason Johnny Gunn is a renowned author.

-D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review:

The West: Land of Opportunity is a collection of Western stories filled with a storyteller’s penchant for high drama and strong characterization.

Any advanced elementary to middle grader readers who have thought of Western history as dry and one-dimensional would do well to read the vivid stories, here. Johnny Gunn’s tall tales outline not just events, but concepts about the West and its characters. Gunn doesn’t just cover positive people seeking opportunity in the wild West: the stories include characters with more nefarious attitudes and motivations.

Each story is designed to feature different characters that represent disparate facets of Western experience, from lawmen and strangers to individuals concerned with either upholding or thwarting the forces of frontier justice.

Through these tales, readers will gain a renewed appreciation for the opportunities, obstacles, encounters, and characters attracted to the American West.

Gunn is especially adept at creating compelling scenarios which embrace problem-solving, social and political situations (as they pertain to frontier living, of course), and encounters that test not only the mettle of each character, but their perception of and place in the West.

All these features are why The West: Land of Opportunity is highly recommended for libraries seeking lively discourses that will attract not just young history buffs, but leisure readers who will find its “you are here” atmosphere compelling, realistic, and thoroughly engrossing.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
