I have only recently read and reviewed Volume One of these adventures. I was excited to read more, but at the same time I had the usual trepidation I find on starting the second part of a series. They are rarely as good. I’m glad to say that this was one of the exceptions. If you have read volume one then you like me are probably itching to find out what forged Cash into the hard-bitten Marshal that he is. You are? Good. Read on because nearly half of this tome is dedicated to revealing his orig...more
This is the second volume of stories from Edward A. Grainger a.k.a David Cranmer, and although I gave Vol I five stars too, this second volume has the edge over it's predecessor in my opinion.
Vol II contains seven new stories including the novella“Origins of White Deer”, which is Cash Laramie's back story and a sensational ending story in“Reflections in a Glass of Maryland Rye”, which leaves a world of possibilities for a third volume.
Each story is well written, and really conveys what I imagine...more

I was never much into westerns in print until Cash Laramie came along, and the second volume may even exceed the first. Opening with the novella that tells us how Cash got the arrowhead around his neck and the name that strikes fear into owlhoots and men of misguided moral compass alike, this collection takes Cash and Gideon Miles on harrowing adventures requiring both a fast gun hand and a depth of character to survive. It's this second quality that shines in this collection, as we see Cash as...more
This collection deals primarily with the Arapaho raised, likable but very disturbing US Marshal Cash Laramie with only brief appearances of African-American Marshal Gideon Miles. The seven stories are swift hard right jabs to the gut that will addle your senses. The book begins with the origin tale of Cash "ORIGIN OF WHITE DEER" ranks as one of the all time best any genre. The book concludes with a "REFLECTIONS IN A GLASS OF MARYLAND RYE" which almost makes you have to either cry or puke. In bet...more
Divoký západ, drsní chlapi, kozaté štetky, rasové predsudky a strašný hic. Pokračovanie zbierky o dvoch US marshalloch sa mi páčilo o dosť viac ako prvá časť. Je to nejaké akčnejšie, drsnejšie a viac to chytí za srdce. Aj ked sa autor nevyhne snáď žiadnemu klišé. Ale tak nejako to k tomu pasuje a nekazí to zážitok.
Cash Laramie je beloch, ktorého vyhovali indiáni a tí, ktorí ho nemajú v láske mu to neustále pripomínajú. Gideon Miles je černoch. Nuff said. Obaja su tvrdí ako diamant a ranami päsťo...more

The Western is alive and well, as evidenced by the work of Edward A. Grainger, better known ‘round these parts as one Mister David Cranmer. A few months back, he released THE ADVENTURES OF CASH LARAMIE & GIDEON MILES, a short story collection of remarkably thrilling tales. Almost instantly, we readers were harassing him for more, and he’s delivered, in spades. THE ADVENTURES OF CASH LARAMIE & GIDEON MILES VOLUME II is, believe it or not, far, far better than the first volume. The action...more
Given how much I enjoyed the first collection, it was hardly surprising that I would also buy the second collection, entitled simply The Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles Vol. II.
Edward Grainger starts proceedings with The Origins of White Deer, the longest piece in the book, which explains the origins of our adopted Arapaho hero, Cash Laramie. Written in a somewhat different style from the other stories, it contrasts Laramie's background among the tribe wonderfully and adds a new dim...more

Edward Grainger delivers a second volume of stories in a refreshing mix of genre and kick butt characters. Once again, he draws the line between black and white, daring his characters to enter the gray area in between and forcing them into choices and situations most of us couldn’t handle or dare to make.
Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles Vol. II holds the past and future of Cash Laramie, I wouldn’t have missed this for anything. You shouldn’t either.

The author's follow-up to his best selling, on Amazon's western chart, volume one.
Seven stories here, most previously available in other venues. Nice to have them brought together.
One tale, ORIGIN OF WHITE DEER, tells the story of a young Cash, raised by the Arapaho passing from a boy to manhood, from his life with his adopted parents to his move into the world of his white birth parents.
A nice set on the "Outlaw Marshal."

Another great collection from Grainger, who re-examines the Far West with over a century of perspective. Once again, Grainger surfs that fine line without dipping into judgmentality or caricature. I have grown quite attached to the character of Gideon Miles, who feels less like a hero archetype than Cash. But then again the Cash stories are great too. Origins Of The White Deer and Miles In Between were the top of the line for me.
A great follow-up to Volume I. More great stories of Cash and Miles, and some further deliniation of the character of Cash Laramie, including a bit on his origins.
