Ebenezer Sackett's Christmas Carol: A Novella About Christmas

My story is similar to Charles Dickens’s, A Christmas Story, and profiles a “Scrooge” I knew in the Cheyenne River country east of Buffalo Gap. He was a cantankerous old cowboy who spent seven days a week in the saddle, and took a day off only on rare occasions and come to town to do business with my dad at the bank and throw down a couple beers at Frenchie’s saloon.
