In Cupid From Bear Creek, Robert E. Howard tells the story of a young man named Breckinridge Elkins, who lives in the small mountain town of Bear Creek, in the wilds of the American West. Breckinridge is a big, strong, and good-natured man, but he is also a bit of a bumbler, and he often finds himself in trouble. When a beautiful young woman named Cupid arrives in town, Breckinridge is instantly smitten. But Cupid is not what she seems, and soon Breckinridge finds himself embroiled in a wild adventure involving a gang of outlaws, a mysterious stranger, and a hidden treasure. Along the way, Breckinridge must use his wits and strength to survive, and he discovers that he is capable of more than he ever imagined.
