The author would like to take this opportunity to thank several individuals from without whose assistance this series could not have been possible.

Thank you Westwood Books Publishing, Los Angeles, CA for the second edition of my book Trails Southwest and the Cattle Drive from Southwest.  This bookstore company has combined Books 1 and 2 into one book as Parts 1 and 2 of the Trails Southwest Series.

Thank you John Covert for designing my website "dianesoldwestnovels.com" John, you have been a tremendous inspiration for getting this author technologically advanced.

Thanks again everyone for being a part of my life and work, you are the best ever that anyone can have available at their right side as colleagues and friends,

Diane
