Cotton had been through range wars before, but never with the odds quite so great against him—never with so few on his side.

Book Synopsis The Man from Yesterday by : Wayne D. Overholser
Download or read book The Man from Yesterday written by Wayne D. Overholser and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was while Neal Clark was in the gunsmith's shop that the Shelly gang attempted to hold up the bank. Neal rushed out of the shop with his rifle, took aim, and fired, repeatedly, killing Buck Shelly and his son Luke Shelly. He may also have wounded Ed Shelly, a teenage boy, who was holding the horses. Ed Shelly made good his escape, but was believed to be mortally wounded. That's what Neal thought until he received a letter from Ed Shelly, declaring that he would be back someday to settle the score. Eight years later, Neal is married with a young daughter and has taken over the town bank. Cascade City is in the midst of a crisis brought about by Ben Darley and Tuck Shelton, promoters of an irrigation project that is an obvious scam, though it isn’t obvious to most people in town or the surrounding ranching community. There is even talk of lynching Neal for his adamant rejection of investment in the project. It is at this point that the letters from Ed Shelly start coming again, this time vowing revenge not on Neal himself, but on his wife and daughter. There seems to be nothing Sheriff Joe Rolfe can do about it because there are no strangers in town except for the two promoters, both too old to be Ed Shelly… The Man from Yesterday is a gripping tale and a modern Western classic written by a Spur Award winning author.

Download or read book Shadow on the Land written by Wayne D. Overholser and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central Oregon—the last frontier. Transportation is still by stagecoach and freight wagon. There is a movement afoot for a people’s railroad, paid for by the state, to bring the benefits of rails to the area, to make it easier to ship livestock and produce, and to encourage settlement. For years the competing railroad barons, James J. Hill and Edward H. Harriman, have done nothing toward building a line in central Oregon, but now, under the impetus of the people’s railroad bill, they both set out to do just that. Lee Dawes, a front man buying rights-of-way for the Hill interests, is charged with besting Mike Quinn, who is acquiring rights-of-way for the Harriman line. Dawes and Quinn have competed in this kind of work for years, as they have competed for women. An essential property on the way to Bend is owned by Hanna Racine, and both Dawes and Quinn want the right-of-way across her land. The two vie to come up with a strategy to seduce her into committing to the interest they represent, while an unknown third party is intent on frustrating them both through brutal violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gold rush threatens to break the peace of a quiet Colorado town. Angel’s Landing was the mining town that grew up around a gold strike in the hills of Colorado. But the boom was long ago, and now the town is a whisper of what it once was. Mark Girard was a young boy when he witnessed firsthand what happened to a town when all of its residents vanished. It was a simple, quiet life that Mark had chosen to lead, and he and his closest friends much preferred it to the wild boom times. When the job as sheriff for Bremer County opened, Mark ran for the office and won. It was a relatively easy job, until news broke that there was a new gold strike on Banjo Creek. It quickly became clear that the boom days were about to return, and with them the wild lawlessness that accompanies a gold rush. Will Mark have the courage and the wits to keep Angel’s Landing from descending into chaos? With Law at Angel’s Landing, acclaimed Western author Wayne Overholser paints a vivid picture of untamed life in the American frontier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a three-time Spur Award–winner comes the tale of an orphaned boy who is forced to become a man. Mark Kelton is eighteen years old—part boy, part man. On the trail to set up a ranch in eastern Oregon, his parents are killed by an unknown assailant and their strongbox containing $8,000 is stolen. Mark heads out onto the empty plain where he encounters Bronco Curtis, a man who knows what he wants, and Curtis befriends the young orphan. When Curtis was Mark’s age, an older man had done the same for him. Under Curtis’s tutelage, Mark becomes a hardened rider and an experienced cowboy, capable in the use of firearms. In Ten Mile Valley, Curtis purchases a small cattle ranch and appoints Mark as his partner, even though Mark is destitute. Even so, always at the back of Mark’s mind is the knowledge that, somewhere on the plains, the murderer of his parents still rides free. Mark is convinced that he cannot truly become a man until he finds that murdering thief.
