Chumley’s Gold: A Western Duo
Outcasts of Picture Rocks
Rusty was a child when Cheyenne Indians killed his mother. Raised by Spotted Antelope and Bitter Root, Rusty – now known as Red Hawk – refuses initiation into the tribe and is abandoned.
High Valley is set in the Colorado Rockies, where Grant Talbot works as ramrod for the Wagon Wheel spread. The owner has died and his widow is attracted to Grant. If he doesn’t return that affection, she’s prepared to sell out.
For many years the Picture Rocks Basin has sheltered the Jore family from the law. The basin also shelters a fabulous Palomino stallion called Black Wing, descended from champion thoroughbreds. The Jores have left him to run free with the wild herd, but Race Coulter has a different plan.
Rusty’s father has dedicated his life to killing Cheyenne warriors and the Cheyenne call him Wind Walker. Red Hawk, who has no recollection of his white father, wants to rejoin the only family he has ever known . . . he’ll kill Wind Walker, the bitterest enemy of his people.

Tumbleweeds: Frontier Stories
Sons of the Saddle
In Gallows Breed, the short novel which opens the book, young Jerry Carson watches as outlaw Don José de Gama y Lopez murders his father. The outlaw then decides to raise the boy as his own.
Among the stories included in this collection of frontier tales are three about the lives and times of Jesse and Frank James and Cole Younger and his brothers, all frontier outlaws whose exploits have become legend. Home Place is an early episode in the life of Ben Allison, a character who has figured in a number of Henry’s novels.
Gord Stone is an ex-convict hell-bent on revenge, viciously gunning for the cattle king who’d framed him. He had been a reckless, wild kid when Gilbert framed him on a rigged murder rap and robbed him of his ranch. But the eight years he’d spent in jail had sharpened his resolve to get even, strengthened his determination to clear his name.
Old Hellcat is the story of a widowed rancher who has retired to allow his daughter and son-in-law to run the ranch which took his lifetime to establish. The final and title story tells of the Concho, a highgrade gold mine just north of the Mexican border.

The Bloody Quarter In Wyoming, new land is being opened for filing by the federal government.

Pursuit: Western Stories
Smoky Range
Gunsmoke on the Rio Grande
With concern for the complexities of the human condition and care for the accuracy of historical detail, Verne Athanas wrote about the truly timeless themes: the passions and fears of men and women as they faced life on the American frontier. These seven stories bring some of his finest work together.
Born to the saddle, Frank Burdick came home from the East with an M.D. tacked onto his name. He meant to establish himself in Big Hole Basin as a respected physician. But he found the Basin hardly the ideal place to settle down. Frank’s uncle had been murdered, and everyone – including Frank himself – was a suspect. Before it was over, young Dr Burdick was thankful he could still handle a six-gun as well as a scalpel!
It was a mighty dangerous gunsmoke riddle that Ranger Walt Slade had to solve. Who was behind the night-riding terrorists who had driven a dozen families from their small, poverty-stricken ranches – and murdered those who defied them?

Trouble Shooter The name of Jim Hatfield, a tough, two-fisted undercover man of the Texas Rangers, is enough to send fear into those who plot evil. His nerve is iron hard, his draw a blur of motion. The sight of him riding into town on his great sorrel horse, Goldy, has meant the beginning of the end of many a reckless career of lawlessness. Jim has never faced a deadlier assignment than when a crime-ridden corner of Texas is torn apart by vicious killings and a railroad war . . .

The Naked Land
Born to Trouble Mine owner Roy Jones stared around him at the ring of cold-eyed killers. Unknown to him, a tall stranger was observing the tense scene calmly. The mine owner stumbled forward, half-paralyzed with fear. ‘Hold it, mister!’ came a slow drawl from the shadows. Half a dozen hands leapt toward guns. The game always got fast when Ranger Jim Trammell dealt himself in!

Hal Graydon got the message: a lot of powerful people didn’t want him to take on the job of fencing the greatest cattle range in all the Southwest. A fence meant war, something a fence-man could live without. So Hal was ready to call it quits . . . until the fence-haters made one wrong move too many – they killed Hal’s best friend. That’s how the fence-haters got their war . . . and a lot more they’d never reckoned on.

Temporary Duty
Cold Wind
Jonathan Corey stood big and white-haired, holding the trumped-up warrant for Cameron’s arrest in his hands. Not a breath could be heard from the watching town. Jim Cameron faced down the biggest man in Texas – father of the girl he loved – and suddenly he knew one of them had to die for it.
Lieutenant Linus McCaffey was a determined and efficient young man with ambition, humour, a brand new wife and a great deal of courage. The combination proved to be an explosive one – especially when it came to rebuilding a fort in the heart of Apache country. Tucson and Arizona Territory discover that Lieutenant McCaffey is not a man to compromise on any issues whatsoever.
When a hired hand vanishes with his daughter’s pony, Gideon Coopersmith goes after him. He is run off by the man’s mother, Ruth Logan, cigar-smoking owner of the Miner’s Delight Saloon. A vigilante group is also searching for the hired hand – apparently successfully, since he is found lynched. This news brings Ruth Logan on a mission of vengeance, and, as the hangings continue, Gideon fears for the safety of his family.

Night Killer Hack Sumpter had no right to be alive. He had been bushwhacked, robbed and left for dead in the desert. Silver City was an uneasy town. There had been a lot of robberies – and dead victims couldn’t identify their murderers. It could be anybody. The citizens of Silver City walked soft, kept their mouths shut, and locked their doors as tight as their suspicions. It looked as though Hack would have to find the killers by himself.

The Fair Vision There were 102 passengers on the Mayflower and their goal was to attain freedom – personal, social, economic and, above all, spiritual. With little understanding of the local wildlife, little skill at hunting, fishing or growing food in the new land, the colonists had somehow to make peace with the often warring Indian nations if their colony was to survive.
