WES Ranchero 

Blackburn, Thomas 

LP-2168 

New Mexico was a savage wilderness 

when Spencer Stanton rode into it. With 

iron nerve and ready guns, he had forged 

his cattle empire out of it, but now, all 

that had built up was being threatened by 

a gang of savage, ruthless marauders. In 

the Stanton Empire, Spencer had his own 

laws and his own brand of justice, and 

God help the men he found guilty. 

WES Short Grass 

Blackburn, Tom W. 

LP-2341 

The riders of the short grass were men 

baked in blood and bred in violence. 

Steve Lewellyn was no different, until he 

met the woman he wanted. But she had 

no use for a man who was sure to end up 

with a bullet in his back. So Lewellyn 

rode North, alone, to change his ways. 

But the ruthless hunger for cattle, land 

and power went beyond the Texas border. 

Trouble, and the girl, followed Lewellyn. 

WES Sierra Baron 


LP-2654 

Half a million acres of gold was a lot for 

a man to handle, even a hard-fighting 

man like Mike McGann. But when he 

learned that he owned it, he aimed to 

keep it, and his aim was pretty damn 

good. Only suddenly he found himself 

the target for every gold-hungry gun in 

the territory, and before he could stop 

it the rush was on, for Mike McGann's 

land, and his blood. 

WES El Segundo 


LP-2599 

A range war to win, a blood score to 

settle, and the Stanton Empire at stake. 

Ripe for the picking, that's what the 

Stanton Empire looked like to the vicious 

gang of land-grabbers. Their first raid 

carried off a girl they thought was 

Stanton's woman. The next time they 

would take all, unless Jaime Henry, 

Stanton's right-hand man, tracked them to 

their lair and killed them one by one.

WES Last Stage West 

Bonham, Frank 

LP-2208 

The Staked Plain was rough country, 

as dry and deadly as hate itself. So 

Harry Logan and Pete Canty made a 

deal. First, they would team up to track 

down the man who had derailed the 

Burnsville train and deliver him some 

frontier justice. Then, they would 

reload and shoot out the rage that lay 

as thick as Texas dust between them. 

WES Logan's Choice 

Bonham, Frank 

LP-2342 

The Yacqui had few friends, and many 

dead enemies. Frank Logan had been a 

friend, but he was dead. And now his 

son had to prove that he was trustworthy. 

In two weeks, young Tom Logan had 

to come up with $10,000 in stolen 

Yacqui gold, or die the slow, cruel 

death the Yacqui reserved for those 

who betrayed them. That would have 

suited some land hungry ranchers just 

fine, but Tom Logan's Colts had a way 

of finding what they were looking for.

Bouma, J. L.

Buck Benlaw was out for blood. He'd 

been framed for a robbery he didn't 

commit, and there was a price on his 

head. There were only two people who 

knew he was innocent-Buck himself,

holding the bag after the hold-up. Now 

Buck was going to get his revenge, 

even if he had to take the law into his

LP-2092 

Sixty thousand dollars was a lot of hard 

cash to have stolen from you. Especially 

if you were a hard riding Texas Ranger 

named Trav Parker, and your job was to 

keep it safe. It was enough to have Parker 

drummed out of the Rangers. And it was 

enough to make him mount up and head

pay for it in blood.

His name was Pick Atherton, and

for it, but he found it wherever he 

went. He knew how to handle it, but a 

man gets weary of killing, so Atherton 

bought himself a nice little spread, 

built up his herd, and hung up his 

guns. Then a man named Wells 

Packford told Atherton to move on. 

Packford was a tough man, a strong 

man, with an army of hired guns, and

but something he couldn't define had

Pete Craven's outlaw father had

Dunbar, and Pete couldn't trust Zee's 

pretty wife, Tracy, either. She was too 

free with her attentions to too many men. 

He couldn't trust Montana law which

put his trust in the lightning-fast draw of

worse than death, if he didn't trust

The Nebraska Kid slid a jumpy glance 

over the trail ahead. He saw nothing

were the Morgan riders. He settled 

back, his knees tightening against the 

roan's flanks, his muscles tensed for 

any sudden moves by the big stud. But 

a cold foreboding made him twist and 

look back down that empty pass. He

Dean, Dudley 

LP-2090 

The scent of death was in Brent Mackey's 

nostrils, and as sure as he was Cross 

Anchor's ramrod he would be riding point 

in the battle against Bushard. Bushard 

wanted Anchor, the king spread of this 

vast Texas plain. Mackey said no. 

Bushard wanted Seanna Winter, the girl 

Mackey had dreamed of every mile up 

the trail and back. Mackey said no. Big 

Bend stretched as far as the eye could 

travel, but for both Mackey and Bushard 

it was too small. Somewhere out there a 

grave was waiting.

Justin Emery was a hard man. He 

hated his younger brother, Ford, 

although the reason lay in the distant 

past. And when Justin began to suspect 

that Ford was attracted to his beautiful 

and provocative wife, his hostility 

grew. Then Erd Quine entered Justin's 

life. Quine was a renegade, completely

Claiming to be Samantha's true 

husband, he took her away by force, 

over Justin's half-dead body. 

WES Brady's Law 

Dugan, Bill 

LP-2872 

Dan Brady never claimed to be a hero, 

just a weary ex-soldier who came west 

for a new life. All he desires is to raise 

horses on hard New Mexico land with his 

family, and to forget a past that haunts 

him still. But he's the only witness to a 

cold murder in town, and he knows 

without his testimony the killers will ride 

free. 

WES Boss of Panamint 

Ernenwein, Leslie 

LP-3330 

Lee Beauregarde had been a drifter for 

years. He wandered across the west in 

search of one thing, revenge. He was 

hunting the bushwhacker who had 

ambushed his father, and the trail now led 

him into the Panamint Valley. When he 

arrived a bloody range war was brewing 

and he found himself in the middle of a 

showdown range fight. At stake were his 

life, the love of a beautiful woman, and 

the identity of his father's killer. 

WES Bullet Breed 


LP-2571 

Once he was a rash, town-tamping 

deputy, proud of his gun. But 

somehow, the pain-filled years had 

taught him one everlasting truth; the 

Bullet Breed, men like himself, always

died with their boots on. Regardless of 

how fast you are with a gun, there'll 

come a time when no speed on earth 

can save you. Jim Cavanaugh heeded 

the warning, he gave up the badge, he 

pulled out before that bullet caught up 

with him. He was through. Then they 

killed his brother and Jim Cavanaugh 

once more got behind his badge, a 

target for their guns, a lawdog waiting 

for a well-aimed slug! 

WES Gunhawk Harvest

Lee Ransome stuck to the right side of

It was called Apache Basin, this raw, 

rough lonely land where the bones of

WES Rampage 


LP-2735 

The wild Colorado was Ben Roman's 

ancient enemy, a foe he fought and 

hated and deeply respected. He had to 

tame the river, before civilization 

could come to this dry desert land. To 

Slim Lacey, the town girl who wanted 

him, Ben Roman was as wild and 

unpredictable as the river itself. It was 

a strange triangle, the man, the river, 

and the girl. Two hung breathless on 

the violent, willful mood of the third.

Then he learned his best friend and

All they needed was a leader and

a top gunman called Lobo Gray. Nobody 

who drew on Gray lived to regret it; they

The boy walked out of the wilderness in 

the late summer of 1855, carrying the

had been eating for two days. He had 

been alone in there for ten days. Behind 

him were three graves, and with him was 

the memory of a family named Snelling 

that he would one day hunt down and 

destroy, slowly, terribly. That boy 

became a man, bleak-eyed and 

dangerous, who rode, always alone, 

carrying only the grim comfort of a black

ranchers. For the ranchers, the battle 

lines have been drawn in the form of 

newly settled farmland that's cutting 

through the ranges, separating cattle

deal since he saw it last but then so had

his Union sympathies and then driven

coming back. 

WES Day of the Comancheros

WES Beyond the Pass 

Leighton, Lee 

LP-2271

WES Action at Arcanum 

Mac Donald, William

Ridge 

Mac Donald, William LP-2892 

Ramrod Ridge was a ghost town and a

Mac Donald, William C.

WES The Baynes Clan: Kansas 

Gambler 

Mc Cord, John S. LP-2569 

With the Baynes, what you see is 

generally what you get. And what people

have seen and gotten for years is a 

family that doesn't look for trouble, but 

never runs out of it. Cousin Rod Silvana 

is a different story altogether. With 

Darnell Baynes's cultured nephew, what 

you see is the exact opposite of what you 

get. He seems like an easy mark in a card 

game, but he's made more money and 

enemies playing poker than he can count. 

And he looks like a man you can push 

around, but a group of cattle rustlers is 

about to find out that he fights like a 

Baynes. 

WES Wyoming Giant 

Mc Cord, John S.

WES Blood on the Sun 

Merriman, Chad 

LP-2773 

There was the Indian chief's daughter 

who had been ravished. There was the 

chief himself, who swore vengeance. 

There was the renegade who hated red 

men and white men alike. There was 

Rita, the spitfire from the cultured East, 

who trusted no man. And there was 

Starbright, the guide who feared less a 

thousand Indians than the bite of Rita's 

lashing tongue. This is a thrilling novel of 

violence, hatred and justice, along the 

Oregon Trail. 

WES Hard Country 


LP-2883 

Hob Loman had been green when they 

killed his dad. Now he was grown, big, 

hard, fearless as his father before him. 

He rode into Dalles City wearing his

what he'd find there, the three men 

who'd hung Burley Loman. 

WES Night Killer 


LP-3099 

Hack Sumpter made it to Silver City. 

Bushwhacked, robbed, and left for 

dead in the desert, he had no right to 

be alive. There had been a lot of 

robberies in Silver City lately, and the 

dead victims couldn't identify their 

murderers. The citizens of Silver City 

kept their mouths shut and locked their 

doors. It looked as though Hack would 

have to find the killers by himself. 

253

WES Ride West for War 


LP-2988 

Early in the Civil War, many states in 

the West hadn't taken sides: in certain 

wealthy mining areas, the scale could 

be tipped one way or the other. And so 

long as a territory remained neutral, 

unscrupulous characters could exploit 

the situation. When this exploitation 

included the shipment of arms, then 

the army had good cause to 

investigate, but not openly. Which is 

how Lt. Tracy Dalton found himself in 

Oregon disguised as a mining 

engineer. 

WES Rogue River 


LP-3241 

Gold had been discovered where the 

Rogue and Illinois Rivers spilled into 

the Pacific. Miners' shacks lined the

Antonio. And Mexican renegades have 

kidnapped Nate Callahan's wife and

Newton, D. B. 

LP-2205 

Croy Roth's hatred for young Branch 

Kindred drove him to desperate 

measures. First he got Kindred kicked

Then he got him thrown in jail on a 

trumped up charge. He made three 

savage attempts to kill him. Kindred

do in Rock River, and come hell or 

Croy Roth he was going to tame this 

bullet range. 

WES Guns of Warbonnet 


LP-3250 

Ed Martin was returning to his old home 

in Warbonnet. Eleven years before he had 

been falsely accused of a crime, 

horsewhipped, and driven out. But now 

he was coming back as a U. S. Marshal to 

find out just what was going on in a

brink of a full-scale range war. Killer 

Mort Browder was part of the picture, the

Browder couldn't work alone. 

WES Hideout Valley 


LP-2512 

Jim Bannister did not look like someone 

on the dodge who had seen his way of 

life destroyed and himself hounded by all

Bryan, he was temporary marshal in 

Morgan Valley, until he found his own 

Wanted poster lying on the floor of his 

office. 

WES Shotgun Freighter 


LP-2425 

The sleet had turned to snow. Soon 

every landmark, even the trail itself, 

was completely lost; Dan felt as 

though he were on a blind treadmill 

that was soundless except for this 

howling fury. Disaster, when it struck, 

gave no warning at all. With visibility 

at zero, he had no hint of the near falloff 

of the ground until the rear wagon 

wheel dropped from under him. He 

tried, at the last moment to leap for 

safety, but he was too late. The wagon 

went completely over in a smashing of 

timbers, and Dan's skull made crushing 

contact with something.

WES The Oregon Rifles 


LP-2733 

Young Barney Stansel had run away 

from home to join the Oregon Rifles, 

volunteer soldiers pitted against 

thousands of marauding Indians 

terrorizing the Northwest Territories. 

After an Indian raid that nearly wiped out 

his entire company, Barney, badly 

wounded, was left for dead. Rescued by 

the only other survivor, he had to make a 

bitter choice. The man who saved him 

was a deserter, and to stick with him 

meant being branded with the same iron. 

WES The Oxbow Deed 


LP-2605 

Two ex-jailbirds rode into Oxbow 

Valley one day, a used-up and tired old 

cattle thief and a young robber with a 

vicious temper who trusted no one. 

And these were the good guys! They

Cross K, which was still good grazing 

land and now apparently stocked with 

Luke Blaine's herds from his vast 

Broken Arrow spread. The two

kind of men settle down as neighbors, 

and they displayed their feelings with 

well-aimed bullets.

Nicholson, Thom 

LP-3175 

Martin Keller wasn't always a bounty 

256 

hunter whose infamy reached from 

Colorado Territory to Mexico. Only 

after soulless Al Hulett murdered 

Keller's wife and son did he turn to 

tracking killers. And any bounty he 

collects goes toward finding Hulett,

Keller up, he removes the blinders 

long enough to take in the welcome 

sight of his nurse, young widow 

Caroline Thompson.

WES Gringo 

Nye, Nelson 

LP-2015 

Nobody knew what cards Walt Parras 

held in the dirty game going on at the 

Romero Ranch, but the safest way to 

avoid a surprise was to get rid of him

a cowhand who would backshoot him for 

sure, but they had not reckoned on

That deadly day in Tombstone, Wyatt 

Earp, the most famed and notorious of

WES The Seven Six-Gunners 

Nye, Nelson 

LP-2606 

Any man who had fought in the 

Chisum-Murphy feud was bound to 

have some enemies and Flick Farsom 

was no exception. But if Flick was 

looking for a quiet place to hole up in, 

Tombstone was not the healthiest spot 

he could have chosen. Hidden in the 

Arizona mountains were three million 

dollars in plunder, and seven people 

bound and determined to get their

of that treasure for himself. The only 

trouble was the other people looking

kill to get it. 

WES The Sure-Fire Kid 

Nye, Nelson 

LP-2585

Nye, Nelson C. 

LP-3137 

This is a fast-moving, slam-bang 

western yarn based on the actual 

records of the notorious Black Jack 

Ketchum gang which used to rob the 

trains of the Rock Island Railroad. It 

takes place in the days when guns were 

for hire by any man who could pay the 

price, and when the boldness of the 

outlaws gave men an excuse to take 

the law into their own hands. 

WES Gunshot Trail 


LP-2279 

From the pen of one of America's 

finest writers of Westerns comes this 

suspense-packed narrative of the early 

days of the range wars between the 

cattle kings and the sheepherders. Into

LP-2417 

Ranger Dan Waggoner rode into the 

flaming maelstrom of an entire country

he made two mistakes. He reported a 

corpse he'd found on the trail and he ran 

afoul of Curly Bill Graham and his yesman 

Marshal Ben Brush. The corpse was 

one of Curly Bill's gunmen and Whit had 

no alibi. After Brush threw him in jail,

for life, but there was a hitch, the only 

escape route was a dead-end alley.

WES Buckskin Man 

Overholser, Wayne D. 

LP-2630 

He was a hard-muscled, long-boned man 

with a face burned to bronze by sun and 

wind. His buckskin shirt was darkened by 

dirt and age; his black hat had two bullet 

holes in it. There was a knife strapped to 

his left side, a .45 Colt on his right side, 

and a Winchester rifle on his saddle. Rafe 

Dolan was a legend. Maybe too much of 

a legend.

Ben Sarboe was tired of risking his life 

to protect other people. So he gave it 

up, but now trouble was stirring once 

more, and Ben didn't know if he was 

ready to take up a gun again. He was 

also tired of drifting aimlessly through 

every dusty town and outlaw village in 

the West. It was time for him to make 

a decision: put himself out to pasture 

for good, or grab the reins, and spit in 

the face of danger. 

WES Golden Empire 

Owen, Dean

In the remote mountains of Southern 

California, the Rio Kid unearthed a

holding the dead man to the beam, 

Matt Kevney stood for a long moment

doubt. 

WES All Men are Strangers 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2382 

He was a man who had been groomed 

for violence, raised in the ways of the

hard as iron and as wily as an old wolf. 

He went in search of a cold killer and 

found, something incredible. 

WES Ambush Canyon 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2343 

U.S. Marshal Bob Fulton was an 

officer who let trouble come to him 

before he moved to squelch it. But in 

the case of Big Jim Morton's scheme 

to involve the other cattlemen in a 

range war with Travis Quayle's tough 

Texans, Fulton waited almost too long.

Raiders struck Quayle's camp, 

stampeded his herd and shot down 

three of his men. Suddenly Marshal 

Fulton found himself squarely between 

two trigger-itchy factions of cowmen 

sworn to destroy one another, and 

when the gunsmoke cleared, Fulton 

had learned his biter lesson, never wait 

for trouble. 

WES Apache Trail 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2101 

Will Graham had inscrutable blue, 

unsmiling eyes and an air of quiet 

strength. To Karen Maxwell he was 

the embodiment of Arizona itself, 

patient and strong and powerful. Even 

though she had been raised in the state, 

Karen was still not altogether at home 

there, and in the same way could not 

quite understand Will. One of his most 

incomprehensible traits was his 

impassiveness in the face of the 

Apache threat, a threat Karen had 

learned to fear since earliest childhood. 

But when the Apaches hit the warpath, 

this quality would prove to be one of 

Will's greatest assets.

When Sheriff Abner Wright went after

purpose as well for taking to the trail. 

He'd heard rumors over the years of a 

town owned and operated by outlaws, 

260 

and he wanted to lay them to rest. But 

what Abner found back in the 

primitive mountains opened his eyes in 

a number of ways. 

WES Ride to Battle Mountain 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-3289 

Three men, arriving separately, met in the 

little New Mexico cowtown of Shafter. 

The only thing they had in common, on 

first sight anyway, was that each rider 

had an ivory butt on his sixgun. They had 

robbed a bank in Laramie, up in 

Wyoming, and had previously arranged 

to meet in isolated, insular Shafter. But 

the fates decreed that each of those three 

riders would end one phase of his life 

there, and begin another and before this 

happened, there would be gunfire. 

WES Rogue River Cowboy 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2406 

To Bess Benton, the big stranger riding 

into Eureka on a loose rein was just 

another cowboy, distinguished only by 

his irritating arrogance. She did not see 

in Rufe Holt, whose parents lay buried 

nearby, a nemesis in spurs; a man 

come back to avenge the dead and 

solve an ancient mystery. 

WES The Free-Graze War 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2511 

Established ranchers regarded freegrazers 

as jackals of the cow-country, 

and wherever they roamed trouble 

flared up. Buck Handley and Hoyt

McElroy were two such men and when 

they pushed over three thousand cattle 

into the Devil's Punch Bowl, old Jethro 

Graeme told them to get out. Then lead 

flew. 

WES The Lost Trail 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2881 

Town Marshal Will Chance had a twobit 

stage robbery to investigate. What 

he discovered involved the richest and 

biggest cowman in Morgan Valley, 

and that man's long-kept secret. Before 

the smoke finally settled, Will had 

dead men to bury, and a beautiful 

woman to break bad news to. 

WES The Outcast 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2537 

He saw it as he came out of the arroyo, a 

sickening redness of the lowering sky. 

There was a running sore of flame and 

wreckage against the deep-brooding 

night. The cabin and barn were blazing. 

He saw it with a stunned horror that was 

almost suffocating. He ran and ran. His 

father was outside, face down, sprawled 

and shot dead, shot three times. He never 

saw his mother, for she was in the log 

house. But he knew what had happened 

to her. 

WES The Saddlegun Man 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2875 

When Marshal Gil Stevens' territory was 

invaded by a band of very clever 

renegades, he had the devil's own time of 

it trying to figure out how they worked, 

261 

why they remained out in the 

countryside, how they escaped, and, 

ultimately, who they were. Gil had begun 

to suspect he would never find them 

when an old cowman named Rufus Irons 

was savagely beaten. 

WES The Time of the Texan 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-3228 

In the Old West, the peril to South Texas 

from Mexican marauders was a constant 

danger. Men retired for the night with the 

knowledge that next day they might arise 

robbed of their livestock, left destitute, or 

having to dig graves for their neighbors. 

The Mexicans never forgave the Texans 

for rebelling against Mexico and 

establishing a republic of Texas or for 

joining the United States. National 

boundaries were violated, men killed, and 

blood shed in South Texas. 

WES The Trail Drive 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2275 

Burt Sommers was the DB rangeboss. 

His riding crew consisted of Sut, Pete, 

Jack and Morgan. By taking a mountain 

pass as a shortcut, they could deliver 

seventeen hundred head of upgraded bred 

cows to Florence Basin in less time than 

by using the regular trail. But in that 

dark, overgrown canyon, they were 

attacked by renegade whites and outlaw 

Indians. Then they were all nearly killed 

by a landslide. They buried Jack and 

staggered on, and were attacked by 

possemen who mistook them for 

renegades. Every one of them emerged 

from that canyon a different man.

WES The War-Wagon 

Paine, Lauran 

LP-2386 

Dick Chase came from Nebraska to take 

over his uncle's cow outfit when the old 

man died. Dick was an experience, 

pragmatic cowman, and until he 

discovered that some long yearling 

replacement heifers had been rustled, he 

had demonstrated nothing but everyday 

cow-savvy. But after that, when he found 

the rustlers and uncovered a scheme he 

could scarcely believe, he became 

something different: a manhunter. 

WES Hunt the Man Down 

Patten, Lewis B. 

LP-3140 

It all began with a raging snowstorm and 

a woman's terrified scream. And 

suddenly Mike Logan found himself 

forced to flee for his life, accused of a 

crime he never committed, and hunted by 

a powerful rancher who vowed to shoot 

him down like an animal. Enduring a 

crippling wound, cold, hunger, and the 

treachery of those he'd reckoned as 

friends, Logan swore that if death was in 

the cards, he'd also deal the hand of his 

vicious pursuer. 

WES The Law in Cottonwood 

Patten, Lewis B. 

LP-2687 

Marshal Morgan Gaunt was worried. 

Cottonwood, Kansas, was about to be 

stampeded by the cattle drivers from 

Texas, thirsty for liquor and hungry for 

women. Their lusts were satisfied by an 

influx of gamblers, barmen, and saloon 

girls. Cottonwood needed the trade that 

262 

accompanied the cowboys, but trembled 

at the hell that invariably broke loose. A 

curfew and ban on firearms was declared, 

an ordinance Gaunt knew he couldn't 

enforce. 

WES Guns of Hell Valley 

Prescott, John 

LP-3101 

Men aflame with hate, women with 

violent homeward hungers, these were 

the last desperate outcasts of bullet-torn 

Lincoln County. Then, out of the dying 

ashes of their vengeance, rose a gun king 

who swore: "I'll bring you home from 

hell!" 

WES The Renegade 

Prescott, John 

LP-3242 

When Clay got out of jail he found the 

country turned against him. Now Robey, 

the man who had framed him for the 

killing, had Clay over a barrel. He could 

either ride for Robey or get out. Then 

Clay found his best friend dead, shot in 

the back by one of Robey's gunslingers. 

Clay made his choice. He was going to 

face Robey. 

WES Left to Die 

Roderus, Frank 

LP-3252 

The payroll belonging to Willow Creek's 

miners has been stolen. A posse finds 

Wes Johnson in possession of five 

thousand dollars. They declare him guilty 

and string him up. They're wrong and 

fortunately for Wes, they're also careless. 

He survives his own hanging and gets a 

second chance. Now he's plotting his

evenge. And he'll have to stay one step 

ahead because these self-appointed 

executioners aren't likely to make the 

same mistake twice. 

WES Winter Kill 

Roderus, Frank 

LP-3235 

Old Jug's been a ranch hand for more 

years than he can remember, but he can 

still ride and rope with the best of them. 

When Jug uncovers a scheme to rustle 

cattle from under his watch, someone 

wants him out of the way and he's fired 

from the only job he's ever known. Now, 

Jug's going to find out who's responsible, 

and show them just how much fight one 

old cowboy has left. 

WES Expedition 

Ross, Dana F. 

LP-0141 

Clay Holt leads a perilous expedition 

up the Yellow River. 

WES Holster Law 

Scott, Bradford 

LP-2632 

Three hundred trigger-happy cowhands 

are on a march from Texas to the cattle 

market at Dodge City. Suddenly a herd 

owner and his range boss were found 

murdered. Suspicions flared. Trigger 

fingers began itching. Nearly every 

cowhand present was a Texan, and a 

Texan isn't given to arguing with words. 

WES Raiders of the Rio Grande 


LP-3238 

"A belly full of lead for the man who 

opens the door!" Slade muttered as he 

looked through the cabin window and 

saw the shotgun lashed to the table rigged 

to blast when the door was disturbed. "An 

old trick," the Ranger thought, "deadly 

only if you're careless." Standing out of 

the line of fire, he smashed in the door 

with a log, and the shotgun fired its load 

squarely into a bundle of dynamite! 

WES The Devil's Corral 

Savage, Jr. Les 

LP-2657 


(AL-0180)). Includes "The Devil's 

Corral," in which an obstinate horse 

named Devil gives Ed Ketland a run 

for his money; "Satan Sits a Big 

Bronc," in which a carpetbag governor 

hires a gang of outlaws to enforce his 

new laws; and "Senorita Scorpion," in 

which Chisos Owens embarks on a 

mission of revenge to find the 

enigmatic Scorpion. 

263 

WES Rangers at Bay 


LP-2789 

Shocked and enraged, Walt Slade read 

the venomous editorial. His honor as a 

Texas Ranger was tarnished by the 

vicious, lying attack, but, as an 

undercover agent, he could not protest. 

He knew the slander was just another 

weapon in the brewing range war. But 

the attack turned personal when hot 

lead whined at Slade from ambush.

WES The Lonely Buckaroo 

Scott, Leslie 

LP-2888 

Blaine Mason had just sold the Bar Six 

ranch and left behind the coast with its 

storms and its damp heat. He was 

heading for a new home, perhaps in 

the Panhandle, or in the Rio Grande 

Valley. A brief stopover would give 

him time to decide and to enjoy 

himself. But then Blaine was drugged 

and robbed of all his money. 

WES The Texan 

Scott, Leslie 

LP-2734 

No one saw Justin Slone move. One 

second his hands were empty, the next, 

two blackened muzzles threatened 

death! Justin Slone was the only man 

in Tombstone with guts enough to call 

the play of the notorious Brocius gang. 

So Justin Slone was marked for death. 

But he was an iron-hard Texan with 

crushing fists and a greased-lightning 

draw. 

WES Tascosa Gun 

Shelton, Gene 

LP-0190 

When his boss's cattle are stolen, Jim 

East becomes part of the west's biggest 

manhunt, and begins his career as a 

lawman. Little did Jim know that big 

trouble was brewing. 

WES Shadow Valley 

Shirreffs, Gordon D. 

LP-2035 

Thirty-five of Drake Manning's 

hardcases swept over Holt Cooper's 

ranch like a plague of locusts. They 

used wire cutters, bullets and fire. 

When they were done the place was a 

shambles. Then they went after 

Cooper, but chasing him was like 

chasing a phantom. Every time they 

killed one of his cows he killed two of 

theirs, but now Cooper was down to 

his last load of cartridges, and 

Manning's gunslingers prepared to 

move in for the kill. 

WES Deep Hills 

Stuart, Matt 

LP-2381 

In this blazing western story of range 

warfare, cowman Britt Larkin of the 

Deep Hills gambles his life to fight for 

the homesteaders. 

WES Gun Law at Vermillion 

Stuart, Matt 

LP-2383 

Vermillion was tough, a raw Nevada 

frontier town where murderous hatreds 

smoldered, where killers walked the 

streets without fear of the law. There 

was no law in Vermillion, not even a 

sheriff. This is the story of Clay Orde, 

who came to Vermillion wearing a gun 

and looking for a man. 

264

WES Saddle-Man 

Stuart, Matt

Marshal Bruce Martell has the 

misfortune of riding right into the 

middle of it. 

WES Deadwood 

Tompkins, Walker A. 

LP-2873 

Behind Vince Meade was the 

harrowing memory of the massacre at 

the Little Big Horn. Custer, the Boy 

General, had left a legacy for him, a 

mission of justice. Vince had to round 

up a cowardly turncoat who bore the 

blood of cavalrymen. Plunging into the 

raw region that few returned from, 

Vince found that the trail led to 

Deadwood, where King Colt ruled with 

hangman's rope and a bottle of rotgut. 

WES Lion of the Lavabeds 

Tompkins, Walker A. 

LP-3039 

The Indian Kintupash was a foe 

worthy of Bob Pryor, the Rio Kid. This 

savage warrior combined subtle 

cunning with lion-like courage as he 

led his marauding band against the 

white settlers. Pryor grudgingly 

admired the enemy who was leading 

him deeper and deeper into danger, 

while a white traitor waited for a clear 

shot at the Rio Kid's back. 

WES Siege at High Meadow 

Trimble, Louis 

LP-2880 

Eight long years had not dulled the 

hatred that Cordell held for Mont 

Langsford. Eight long years had only 

given the manhunter the chance to 

track Langsford down, to get him with 

his back to Boot Hill. Eight years of 

pain and humiliation now looked down 

the barrel of Cordell's carbine. 

WES The Hostile Peaks 

Trimble, Louis 

LP-2884 

Someone had stolen a shipment of 

Army guns and ammunition, and that 

could mean real trouble for the isolated 

settlers in that mountainous territory. 

Clint Larabee had been sent to find the 

missing guns, but by the time he was 

sure he knew where they were, there 

didn't seem to be much he was likely 

to be able to do about it. 

WES Buchanan's Gamble 

Ward, Jonas 

LP-3042 

The killers had taken over the town, 

lock, stock, and barrel, and they 

weren't going to leave until there was 

nothing left to loot. They had the bank 

and the saloon and the sheriff's office 

and the poker game. And you had to 

like it or you ended up dead. But 

Buchanan didn't like it. 

265

WES Buchanan's Revenge 

Ward, Jonas 

LP-3103 

They said in Texas that Tom Buchanan 

ate raw wildcat for breakfast and that 

he was slow to anger like a rattler 

dozing in the desert sun. But now 

every saloon and dance hall had heard 

the news: Buchanan was cleaning his 

guns for the outlaws who had shot his 

best friend in the back. 

WES The Gun and the Law 

Wayne, Joseph 

LP-2286 

Deputy Sheriff Brady Royal, all alone, 

had one purpose in life, to avenge the 

death of his brother, his friend the sheriff, 

and the innocent people who were all 

murdered by two killers. A bullet through 

the heart was too tame. He wanted to 

watch the killers swing. One was as sly 

and dangerous as a wolf. The other was a 

madman with the cunning of a rattler. 

They knew that their only chance to stay 

alive was to kill Brady Royal. They 

roamed the empty land, and only his gun 

could stop them. 

WES Gunsmoke: Blizzard of 

Lead

broken leg. Back in Dodge City, the

Gillespie's father, and the theft of more 

than thirty thousand dollars in Yankee

WES Rattlesnake Range 

West, Tom 

LP-2887 

Brick Riley has come to Painted Rock 

because he'd heard there was a 

shooting feud storming up between the 

cattle ranchers and the sodbusting 

homesteaders. That kind of situation 

was ideal for Riley; he was a hired 

gun, and it wasn't long before he had a 

job with the Circle C. They stationed 

him on the only reliable waterhole for 

miles around, to run the nesters off. 

But when Riley saw how poor the 

families were, he couldn't stomach the 

job. 

WES Renegade Roundup 

West, Tom 

LP-2889 

Burt Craig was riding with the wolves, 

and he didn't much like the company. 

He'd joined that bandit gang in hopes 

of getting back his own stake, and so 

far all he'd got was the chance to ride 

in another holdup, and maybe stop 

lead, or get hung if he got caught. 

Who'd ever swallow his story? 

267 

WES Scorpion Showdown 

West, Tom 

LP-3291 

Sam Moreland rode into trouble as 

blindly as a steer steps into quicksand 

and now he was sitting in a courtroom, 

irons on his wrists, and listening as all 

the evidence against him combined to 

fashion a hang noose. The only way he 

was going to get out of this was by 

finding the real Garrote Gang that had 

done the mischief he was being 

blamed for. No one even knew what 

they looked like because they never 

left any witnesses alive to tell. 

WES The Buzzard's Nest 

West, Tom 

LP-2790 

The place was called Copper Valley, 

but the treasure it held was in gold and 

greenbacks. The outlaw who had 

stolen and hidden it was floating in the 

Rio Grande with a knife in his back. 

The stranger who was searching for it 

met seven devious men, all driven by 

maddening greed. And the law stood 

by, unable to halt the inevitable clash. 

WES Thunder Brakes 

Wilson, Cherry 

LP-2138 

The February blizzard was raging 

around the little depot of Blue Buttes 

like a wild monster. Tex Rankin and 

his cowboy partner, the earnest Dell 

Young, were awaiting the midnight 

train to whisk them down south. Then 

the wind blew in a slim young girl,

June Hale, who was looking for two 

men to help on her ranch, the Curly Q, 

while she went to attend to her injured 

father. Moved by her plight, Tex and 

Dell agreed. They watched her board 

the train going south, and then heard 

that the Curly Q was about to go 

under! 

WES Massacre Basin 

Wynne, Frank 

LP-2879 

"When I'm gone the wolves will come 

out of their holes and gang up on Hat." 

Such was the prophecy by which Nora 

Parrott had inherited the mighty Parrott 

Hat ranch, and by which her foreman, 

Clay Sebastian, was bound. And they 

knew who would lead the wolves; 

Buck DeSpain, whose methods were 

wilier but equally ruthless.
