Book Description
Nathan Knight was a youngster with a shabby background - a nothin' from nowhere was how he put it, with no past and less future. Not until he met up with Hannibal Reno, a bounty hunter, a man with no feelings towards the men he tracked, just a craving desire for the reward money their capture brought. But Reno was going slowly blind - he struck at sundown to even his chances with his sharper-eyed victims - and eagerly Nathan became his "eyes", steadily learning the deadly profession, stifling his conscience with the knowledge that the men he hunted were not human beings only outlaws and killers deserving of capture or death. It was not until Nathan trailed and caught the most wanted man in the South-west that he began to question what he was doing and what he had become. And it was not until he had to risk his own life to save his captive that he realised he had to leave the Sundown Trail - and fast.

The Deadwood Trail
Author: Ralph Compton
Publisher: St. Martin's Paperbacks
ISBN: 1429903198
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
They had beaten the harsh odds of the frontier. But for the two powerful ranchers, the most formidable trail lay ahead. There had never been a trail drive like this before... The only riches Texans had left after the Civil War were five million maverick longhorns and the brains, brawn, and boldness to drive them to market along treacherous trails. Now, Ralph Compton brings this violent and magnificent time to life in an extraordinary series based on the history-blazing trail drives. For veteran ranchers Nelson Story of Montana, and Benton McCaleb of Wyoming, it was an opportunity a man didn't pass up. In gold camps of the Black Hills, miners were hungry for beef, at boomtown prices. But within the two outfits were Indians, gunmen, Texans, lovesick cowboys, and high-spirited women. Worse, the drive would pass through Crow and Sioux territory, when Custer's defeat at the Little Big Horn was just hours away. The drives were tangled by violent grudges, stampeding herds, and dangerous deception. The two brawling outfits had one thing in common: a deadly surprise awaiting them at the end of the trail...

The Man without a Gun
Author: Lauran Paine
Publisher: Blackstone Publishing
ISBN: 1470861194
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Two tales of action, adventure, and the Wild West from a founding master of the genre, Lauran Paine. In “The Crescent Scar,” one man trying his best to stay on the straight and narrow is Sadler Carrel. Once upon a time he was a notorious outlaw known as the Gila River Kid, but he left his violent past behind to work a cattle ranch, always careful to keep the crescent-shaped scar, the only known identifying mark from his former life, carefully covered. But when the railroad comes to town, putting up fences that keep his cattle from the water and grazing land, the only one that can protect everything that Sadler Carrel built is the Gila River Kid. In “The Man without a Gun,” Jack Swift didn’t choose not to carry a gun; it chose him. After he served his sentence for horse thieving, he was told it’s illegal for a former convict to wear a gun. So he went unarmed into the Arizona territory, where he found a small cattle town, settled down, and became a respected local businessman. But when Jack’s young, lame friend steals a horse to run from a cruel uncle, Jack goes after him unarmed, because he knows full well that the uncle does carry a gun and won’t hesitate to use it.

Book Description
After 1912, when the great cattle empires began to crumble, hundreds of seasoned cowboys found themselves jobless. A handful of discarded horsemen, however, stumbled upon an entirely new frontier-Hollywood. In a rare insider’s view, Diana Serra Cary tells the story of these cowboys, who survived for another fifty years as riders, stuntmen, and doubles for the stars. Filled with humorous anecdotes, The Hollywood Posse reveals the full story of the cowboys’ long and bitter feud with autocratic director Cecil B. De Mille; their relationships with the great Western stars-from the flamboyant Tom Mix to the durable John Wayne; and above all, their touching loyalty, code of honor, and devotion to each other.
