Blood on the Range $11.38 Blood on the Range Tempered by the fires of his turbulent past, Jebediah Taylor knew it was a matter of kill-or-be-killed when he found himself confronted by a band of hired killers out to destroy everything he loved; the ranch he had built in the high lonesome reaches of the Sangre de Christo Mountains and the beautiful Megan Macloury. Major Bill Tower, a renegade scallywag from Texas would stop at nothing to attain his evil ends. That meant death to any man foolish enough to stand in his way; Death by six-gun fury or a violent end beneath the hooves of the fifteen-thousand cattle he planned to stampede onto land he had no legal claim to. Would a Forty-five Colt Peacemaker in the hands of the fastest gun in the west be enough to stop him? For Jebediah Taylor the answer to that question was a moot point. |

Cherokee Outlet Cowboy $19.95 At age fifteen, Laban Samuel Records (1856-1940), the youngest of twelve children, moved west with his family from Indiana to Kansas. About sixty-six years later, writing in pencil on Big Chief tablets, he remembered this move and his other western experiences through the year 1892, when he settled with his wife and children on the claim he had staked in the Cheyenne-Arapaho Run. In the intervening years, Laban was a freighter with his brother on the Santa Fe Trail and a cowpuncher in the Dodge City stockyards. He first encountered Indians on the banks of the Verdigris River in southern Kansas, learned the Osage language, and became an agency cook at Pawhuska. Later he worked in the Cherokee Outlet as a line rider for the T-5 and Spade ranches, eventually becoming a foreman. Because of Laban's firsthand knowledge of people and events, his account adds a new perspective to several infamous episodes. For example, he barely escaped the raid by Dull Knife and other Cheyenne warriors in 1878, and he knew the participants in the Medicine Lodge bank robbery, the Talbot raid at Caldwell, and the Potts-Franklin shootout on the T-5 Ranch. In addition, Laban recounted many affectionate and often humorous stories about Outlet ranchers such as Maj. Andrew Drumm, Outlet cowpunchers such as Charlie Siringo, Texas trail drivers such as Shanghai Pierce, and western writers such as Thomas McNeal of the Medicine Lodge Cresset, Scott Cummings (the Pilgrim Bard ), and Pawnee Bill. But perhaps most memorable are Laban's stories of everyday cowboy life: herding cattle with his dog Shep, riding his favorite horses, and surviving the rigors encountered by everyone on the western range - tornadoes, rattlesnakes, cold and snow, outlaws, and hard work. |

ETown springs up in the valley, thousands crowding its dusty streets and makeshift saloons. When vigilantes make a secret hit list, Ben cashes in and buys valley land from Lucien Maxwell, a wealthy rancher who owns everything in sight, yet tolerates the miners and ranchers. But when he sells out to European investors, they demand eviction of the squatters. Many refuse to leave and when their primary advocate is brutally murdered, the Colfax County War erupts.Bens ranch is targeted, a fact he shares with Frank Springer and Clay Allison. They discover a group of territorial officials, called the Santa Fe Ring, is behind the scheme. Ben knows neither he nor his ranch is safe as long as the powerful Ring exists.

Their story, the author believes, is worth telling. Glen Onleys first novel, BEYONDCONTENTMENT, was also published by Sunstone Press. |

Fair Game $15.6 Haines Crawford was simply trying to find company records to use in his attempt to get corporate officials to release more funding for his field operations of the American Outdoorsman Club. Instead, what he uncovered was an embezzlement scheme, which led to two murders and an attempt on his own life by a hired Mafia hit man. Marge Spence, wife of one of the owners of the Denver based Club, is found hung from the balcony in her home, and thought to be the result of an apparent suicide. A few months later, Beth Taylor, executive secretary for club president Damien Price, also dies in a suicide jump from the third floor patio of her exclusive Westside condominium. Crawford is warned of the contract on him by a friend and business associate, Alphonso Martinez, who is an ex-lieutenant of the Mexican mafia, now trying to go legitimate as Haines is befriended by Detective Mark Fellow of the Denver Homicide Division and used as an ally with an alibi for his investigation. Detective Fellow builds his murder case against the three club owners, with their embezzlement as the motive and that each man, without an alibi, had the opportunity. But, he still has no hard evidence to link either of the three to the killings. Haines and his wife, Marsha, take refuge on one of the Clubs West Texas ranches and are offered protection by its owner, Terry Whitehead, and his ranch hands, but the couple find they have fallen into the perfect trap for their pursuing assassin. |

Guilty...But Not as Charged $15.95 In the dying days of the Old West, this true-life story of West Texas rancher Noah Wilkerson has earned a small, but captivating, place in the era''s history. A self-made man with little formal education, Wilkerson was a headstrong landowner used to doing things this way and answering to no one. Nothing about Noah suggested timidity. A man of few words, Wilkerson never really fit in with those around him. Nevertheless, he built a successful cattle and horse ranch as well as a home for his wife and nine children. His ordinary life, however, suddenly became entangled with many questions and few answers when a debatable arrest and conviction for murder led him to a new existence - as an outlaw on the run with a price over his head. Guilty...But Not As Charged is a fascinating, well-researched examination of this somewhat complex man whose decisions ultimately put him on the wrong end of a lawman''s gun. |

John Barclay Armstrong, Texas Ranger $14.95 John Barclay Armstrong was a lieutenant in the Texas Rangers, a marshal, a rancher, and a civic leader. But he is best remembered for capturing outlaw John Wesley Hardin. Hardin was wanted for killing Comanche County Deputy Charles Webb in May, 1874. Armstrong arrested Hardin as he boarded a train in Florida and brought him back to Texas, where he was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison. Like many young men after the Civil War, Armstrong left his home in Tennessee to find his fortune in the West. He ended up in Austin and on April 1, 1875, joined McNelly's unit of the Texas Rangers, the oldest state law enforcement agency in the United States. The agency was formed by Stephen F. Austin in 1823 for the common defense. Armstrong retired from the Rangers in 1878. After time in Austin, he began developing ranch land in South Texas and eventually owned one of the largest ranches in the Nueces Strip. Today, the ranch, near the railroad town of Armstrong, remains in the Armstrong family. Texas Rangers and cattle barons are the stuff of which Texas legend is made. John Barclay Armstrong's life captures both legends and stands for the strong men and women who built the state of Texas. |

Lambshead Legacy $34.95 The goal for Lambshead Ranch, located about 120 miles west of Fort Worth, Texas, has always been to convert grass into beef cattle at a profit. In Lambshead Legacy: The Ranch Diary of Watt R. Matthews, Janet Neugebauer's carefully researched annotations place Watt and his ranching efforts in the larger context of the industry - from the branding pens and the winner's circle at a stock show to a board meeting of a national breed association and times with fellow rancher Lyndon B. Johnson. The diary, focusing on Watt's life from 1951 to 1980, contains Watt's records of the number and kind of cattle, the work completed on them, the pasture they were moved to, and their sale price. Also Watt recorded the weather at Lambshead, the names of visitors, and the parties, with the names and number of people who attended. At times, Watt referred to the diary to refresh his memory or settle factual disputes. Frances Mayhugh Holden's introduction focuses on Watt himself - his early years, education at Princeton, family responsibilities, and commitment to preserving the ranch's historic heritage and natural environment. Along with Neugebauer's scene-setting, a picture of a steady life without hurry or stress and filled with the savoring of each piece of ranch work develops. |

Lee Child Cd Collection 2 $165.88 Running Blind: Women are dying. Women who have nothing in common except the fact that they once worked for the military. And they knew Jack Reacher. How and why these women are in danger completely baffles the elite FBI team working the case. There is only one certainty: there is a new kind of killer out there, one so calm, cautious, and careful that even the brilliant Reacher is left running blind. Echo Burning: Jack Reacher is hitching through the heat of West Texas and getting desperate for a ride. The last thing he's worried about is exactly who picks him up. She's called Carmen. She's a good-looking young woman, she has a beautiful little girl . . .and she has married into the wrong family. Worse, her monster of a husband is soon due out of prison. So she needs protection, and she needs it now. Reacher goes home with her to the lonely ranch where nothing is as it seems, and where evil swirls around them like dust in a storm. Without Fail: Jack Reacher is approached by a Secret Service agent who needs a favor. I want to hire you to assassinate the Vice President of the United States, she asks. She is the newly appointed head of the VP's security detail and wants Reacher to try to penetrate her team's shield. What she doesn't tell Reacher - but what he soon discovers - is that a very real and deadly team of assassins has just put the VP in their sights and will stop at nothing to realize their objective. |

On Independence Creek: The Story of a Texas Ranch $24.95 Deep in southwest Texas a creek pours into the Pecos River. Because it flows from the west, one might expect that even in the rainiest of years it would be intermittent, but its flow is steady, and it is the largest freshwater tributary of the Pecos. As a result of its reliable, spring-fed flow, Independence Creek has had a long history. Indians camped along its banks for centuries before the white man arrived. Spanish conquistadores may have found an oasis there during their exploration of the otherwise arid region. And in the nineteenth century, cattle, sheep, and goat ranchers felt the pull of its sweet water and the rich grass on its banks. The author's grandfather, Charles Chandler, settled the area of the mouth of Independence Creek in 1900 and ranched it for many years. But her father, Joe Chandler, saw more potential for the green valley than ranchland. Over the years he built there one of the most popular recreation areas in southwest Texas. First a guest ranch for hunting and fishing, it later included a nine-hole golf course. For about forty years it was the only such entertainment spot on the Pecos River in Texas. Because of its unique ecological situation, the ranch was named a potential natural landmark by James F. Scudday of Sul Ross State University in 1977, and in 1991 the Nature Conservancy of Texas obtained a conservation easement on seven hundred acres of the ranch, the first such arrangement in the state. Charlena Chandler goes beyond the history of the ranch to tell a more personal story of the experiences of her grandparents and parents and of her growing up on the ranch. She tells of the good times, such as sleeping on her grandfather's porch under starry nightskies, successful golf tournaments, and happy family events, and the bad: Depression days, family strife, and the time the creek flooded, destroying the camp. Her book is a realistic, human-events account of the generations that came to realize there was no other place on earth like the |

Reynolds $22.19 Reynolds is a forty-something liquor-store owner on Clear Creek Lake, near Cottonwood, in East Texas. Once he was a banker, but the real estate scandals of the '80s taught him he had trusted the wrong people and brought him within a hair of an indictment. Once he had a wife and twin sons, but she left after the scandal, taking the boys to her daddy's ranch in West Texas. Now Reynolds owns Lake Country Liquor Store and lives in a trailer behind the store, with several women passing through his life for intermittent periods. He's satisfied -- but a little dissatisfied.Reynolds also has a weird family from whom he's mostly estranged. His mother, Edwina, is a bible beater, fond of giving sermonettes to Reynolds, her oldest son who has strayed from the church and lived in sin with women. His brother, Perry, is a survivalist with a stash of AK47s and other automatic weapons that he sells illegally from time to time. Perry also teaches government at the local high school, but his job is in peril because he's been teaching his own anti-government views. And Perry has a dark secret hidden in his past. Ray Reynolds, Sr., is a retired Ford truck dealer who's bent on inventing a perpetual motion machine and leaves his wife to live as a hermit at the lake and focus on his invention.The palpable tension between the brothers makes this in part a Cain-and-Abel story. Perry has always been the good son, but Reynolds learns more than he almost wants to know about his brother. And though they fight -- at least once physically -- they remain brothers, with the distance between them balanced by their sense of family loyalty.There is laughter in these pages in wry, witty dialogue and rawself-honesty, and there is suspense in Perry's late-night gun deals, which he conducts on the boat ramp by Reynolds's store, without Reynolds's knowledge. But there's also a real sense of people with frailties and weaknesses and dreams and hopes, for themselves and for their family.Donley Watt |
