Free Trappers In Trouble. Art by Alfred Jacob Miller.
We’ve all been there a time or two: The Blackfeet steal your horses and leave you afoot out on the starveling prairie; a hippo overturns your dugout and dumps your whole outfit to the bottom of the Zambezi River…
Our pard Eccentric Cowboy has fallen upon some hard times and needs a hand. He ain’t asking for a handout though: He’s got trade goods to exchange for your beaver plews.
Eccentric Cowboy — aka Austen Confer — fellow fan of the great Karamojo Bell, is the author of a series of tales from the Primal Frontier. These are tales in the tradition of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Lost World writings, featuring a explorer and dinosaur hunter of classic Frontier Partisan proportions.
Primal Frontier is a Weird West alternate history setting in the 1860s and 1870s on a massive continent that is populated by all sorts of exotic creatures from our past, the most prominent being dinosaurs. It is a primitive and savage land, bristling with dangerous animals and hostile natives. This land of mystery and peril has been only scarcely explored. But brave men and women will venture into the unknown and encounter all manner of adventures.
Only the the boldest and bravest of men dare to explore the dinosaur-infested interior of Magna Terra, The Wild Continent. Ansgar Tapio is one of those few. Raised in the rugged Red Hills and having explored the land he is well prepared for the challenges that lie before him. But when he and his best friend Jandar are chased into the dreaded Vangor Mountains by a hostile tribe, they make a discovery within that neither ever dreamed existed in the mountain range. Menaced by new foes their every step is fraught with danger as they seek to escape the Vangor Mountains, and perhaps bring a stranger out with them.
Head on over to that mighty jungle trading post on the Amazon and pick up a book or two. You’ll enjoy the read — and it might just keep ol’ EC from having to eat his moccasins.

Sorry to hear that about Austen. May have to pick up a couple on Kindle. Besides, I need books to review for the DMR blog.

James Reasoner says
Thanks for the heads-up on this. The books sound great. I just bought all four that are out so far and look forward to reading them.
JimC says
You’re welcome and thank you.
Saddle Tramp says
Jim, unfortunately I do not have a Kindle.
However, if there are any in the series that you do not have and that you want I would gladly donate them if it can be arranged somehow. I have never dealt with Kindle and I did not see any listed in book format. Any suggestions?
JimC says
I’ll check with EC.

Saddle Tramp-I don’t have a kindle either, but through Amazon you can download free a “Kindle for PC” program that acts just like a Kindle.
It works for me.
Eccentric Cowboy says
I apologize for the lack of any hard copies. I sadly don’t have the funds to print them at the moment.
However, you can down an app for your computer that will let you read Kindle books here: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/fd/kcp
I hope this helps!
Saddle Tramp says
Ok…
Thought maybe I could send it to you or anyone else wanting the Kindle version. Maybe I can gift it from my Amazon account. Just need the details if interested…
Eccentric Cowboy says
Holy moly, thank ya’ll for your help! I’m blown away by the open support. You guys are the best. Already I am feeling better about things.
I honestly can’t thank you guys enough.
Keith West says
It will be a week or three before I can read them, but I’ll post reviews on my blog as I do. When that happens, I’ll send you the links.
Eccentric Cowboy says
That would be spectacular, thank you very much!
Saddle Tramp says
I downloaded the Kindle App and it turned into a 7 day free previw that turns into a 30 day free trial. When I tried ordering all 4 books it gave them to me for free. Do you still get financial credit in that situation? All new to me. I am most definitely lost in the Amazon Rainforest…
I will keep working at it.
Eccentric Cowboy says
Heck Pard, it’s my business and I get lost in it, heh. As far as I know I don’t get financial credit for free purchases. However, if you enjoy even one of the books and want others to know of it, I will consider it a win.
I am sincerely glad that you were at least able to get the app working! I truly hope that you enjoy the books. I confess my early work is very rough, but they get better. Please let me know what you think when you get the chance.
Matthew says
Bought what I think is the first one. As long as they don’t need to be read in order, I’m fine though.
