I recently finished reading Zach's Gold by Frank Kelso. It's been awhile since I've read this type of novel and I'm glad I did. Frank created an interesting plot with larger-than-life characters, particularly Zach. Follow his exploits as he hunts for gold, helps others to form a consolidated mining corporation to fight off claim jumpers, with any apparent need to be compensated, just doing what he thinks is right.

A real page turner and fans of Westerns will truly enjoy this story. This is the first novel I've read written by Frank and won't be the last!

A well written and action packed western incorporating a good portion of the history of mining.

Zach comes to Colorado to mine for gold. He finds friendships more precious than gold among the Colorado miners.

This is a story of adventure and of friendship. A story of men working together for the betterment of all.

You will experience claim jumpers, night riders, outlaws, narrow escapes and lots of great western action.

I loved the characters Zach, Henri, Matt, Cameron, Jefferson and all the others . The history was interesting and the book kept me reading.

Frank Kelso does it again but even better with his latest western novel. This is the third book I've read by this author, and it won't be my last.
Zach's Gold takes us to the Colorado mining fields as the no-nonsense Zach turns to hunt for gold in South Park. Standing in the way of claim jumpers, mule thieves and anybody else that takes a mind to damper his intentions. This action-packed story is loaded with adventure. Kelso's part two of the Jeb & Zach Series is a must read. You won’t be disappointed. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
