Episode 3494: The Bloody Road of Gold by Michael Schall Johnson

The Bloody Road of Gold by Michael Schall Johnson

The Bloody Road of Gold follows Jack Neuman, a determined orphan who finds a home with the Lakota before becoming a U.S. Army scout. Though he marries his childhood sweetheart, his obsession with justice costs him his marriage. Partnering with legends like Calamity Jane and D. Boone May, Jack faces outlaw gangs, hostile Sioux, and deadly stagecoach ambushes. Their daring exploits— eight shootouts, lynchings, and the defense of a $30,000 gold shipment—cement their legacy in the Wild West. Ambrose Bierce later fictionalizes one such tale in A Sole Survivor.
