Dead Broke, Colorado

The town got its unusual name when a pair of prospectors accidentally dropped a stick of dynamite in the Rockies and unearthed a massive vein of silver. One of the men dropped dead from excitement. The other one named the place “Dead Broke” in honor of his companion and declared himself mayor of a brand-new mining town. Mayor Allane Auchenleck — better known as Nugget — put Dead Broke on the map. But when the silver market takes a nosedive, Dead Broke turns into a lawless hotbed of angry out-of-work miners and out-for-blood merchants. For this town to survive, Nugget, will have to put some cool-hand killers in the ground.
