Book Description
Mickey Spillane's larger-than-life lawman Caleb York is back—in the latest tough-as-nails Western novel from New York Times bestselling author Max Allan Collins. This time Caleb may be outnumbered . . . but not outgunned. The Santa Fe Railroad wants to build a spur through Trinidad, New Mexico, linking the town to the cattle trade. Only one man stands against it—rancher George Cullen. At the request of the town council, Sheriff Caleb York rides out to the Bar-O to reason with his old friend. Even Cullen’s daughter Willa, Caleb’s former flame, is for the railroad. But the stubborn blind rancher won’t budge. Cullen’s former partner, Burt O’Malley, has recently returned from a twenty-year stint in the pen for manslaughter. And hired gun Alver Hollis, the much-feared Preacherman, has also shown up with two cronies, claiming they’re in town for the biggest poker game in the territory. With murder in the wind, the whole town’s in danger. Who will be the next target? To bring a killer to justice, and protect the woman he loves, Caleb York must strap down his Colt .44, enter the big game, and bet his life on the turn of a card... and the speed of his draw.

Book Description
The late Howard Crouch did the groundbreaking work on American spurs in his book, Historic American Spurs, which, until now, represented the only available reference on such spurs. Confederate, US and Other Civil War Used Spurs now takes Crouch's work to the next level in its examination of Civil War era used spurs. Features of spurs, such as buckles, rowels, strap plates, file and sanding marks will help you distinguish between Civil War era spurs and post-war lookalikes. Confederate spurs are emphasized and Crouch's classification system of CS 1, CS 2 and so on is continued and new spurs that are identified as Confederate are included. Private Purchase or Civilian spurs of the Civil War and earlier periods are examined as many of these were also worn into battle. US spurs are also examined with an emphasis on unusual variations of the standard US Model 1859, as well as officers Eagle and Dolphin spurs. 8.5 x 5.5 size and approximately 135 pages. All photos are in color and several examples of each type spur are shown, as appropriate.
