Über das Buch
​In July 1959, Steve and Ann Shedd experienced the annual Frontier Day Celebration in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where they were captivated by the Cheyenne Gunfighters. This encounter sparked their interest in fast drawing and gun handling. Motivated by what they saw, Steve Shedd established The Southern Kansas Gunfighters Association upon returning home. The association quickly gained popularity, offering demonstrations, safety talks, and participating in various competitions.

The group's talents led them to Joyland's Frontier Town, where they became known as The Joyland Park Gunfighters. For 16 years, they performed at Joyland, delighting audiences and forging lifelong friendships. They cherish the memories and are grateful to Harold Ottaway for the opportunity and to Stanley and Margaret Nelson for their steadfast support.

In 2014, Dustin Ray Shannon and Faith Dincolo collaborated with Arcadia Publishing to create "Images of America: Saline County Kansas." The book's success spurred residents of Wichita to encourage Dustin to write a photographic history of Joyland amusement park. Inspired by this support, Dustin embarked on the project, resulting in the publication of the book in September 2015. The book was a hit, selling hundreds of copies. In 2023, Dustin released a final edition, featuring an updated layout and two new chapters on the Central Avenue and Mathewson Lane Joyland, as well as the Joyland Park Gunfighters. After the success of the Joyland book, Dustin turned his attention to the Joyland Park Gunfighters, publishing a novel titled "Whispers of the Prairie: The Chico Chronicles," set in a ghost town. Building on this momentum, he founded a subsidiary to publish historical books, both fiction and non-fiction. In May 2024, Shannon Publishing will continue its journey by releasing new titles.
