Mitchellsville by J.S. Bell

If you haven't read our short story, Mitchellsville by J.S. Bell, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It's a powerful story of racism and heroism and one of the most compelling stories you'll ever read of prejudice in the Old West. A grim indictment of the world around us, both then and now when righting wrongs is never easy.
