The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch
By James L. Rosenberg
Ah, an idyllic Western town with all the traditional trimmings: the tough sheriff, the deadly gunslinger, a singing cowboy, the minister, the mortician, and dance hall girls--the town of Gopher Gulch has them all!
But it's spoiled by the presence of Sneaky Fitch, a low-down sneaking coward who won't even tip his hat when he hears someone utter that greatest of phrases: "The Code of the West!"
The town hopes its dreams have come true when Sneaky appears to have finally died... but when he also seems to come back to life at his funeral, mayhem ensues!

Betsy's Flag By Walter Vail
A romantic story of heroism set against the backdrop of the American Revolution. The story is told through the eyes of John Claypoole, boyhood friend of hers that was in love with her from the start. John was also a soldier in Washington's army and was wounded at Germantown. He became a sailor and ended the war in the British Old Mill Prison in Plymouth, England, and survived to become Betsy's husband. While Betsy's life is portrayed in action in the scenes of the play, John Claypoole provides scenes of the progress of the Revolutionary War, so that we see how Betsy's life parallels the historic events of 1773 to 1782.
