Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CAPTIVATING, VIVID WESTERN CLASSIC - FOR FANS OF THE TRUE WILD WEST. It was to be no more than a wagon train going west, but when Reuben uncovers a plot to provide a shipment of Beecher's Bibles to the restive Oglala Sioux, he was forced to intervene. He knew the destruction that would come at the hands of renegade natives armed with Springfield Rifles and in good conscience, he forced himself to try to do whatever was necessary to prevent that from happening. The war was waging in the east and when the usual guard of soldiers from Fort Kearny was no longer possible, the wagons had to travel without the safety of the troops. An appeal to the commandant also revealed a deeper plot that would put the innocent travelers in more danger, prompting Reuben to change his plans and form a plot of his own. He knew trouble often comes in threes and an angry band of Pawnee that had been cheated by the gunrunners brought their own trouble. And to Reuben's chagrin, the Brule Sioux and the Arapaho could also complicate matters for the young man who was bound for the western plains. But if the restless and renegade natives weren't enough, a mighty pretty blue-eyed blonde young lady set her sights on the young plainsman. If he could see what was coming, Reuben would probably and gladly jump into the nearest pond of quicksand and count himself lucky.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best selling author B.N. Rundell continues the compelling saga of reluctant lawman Reuben Grundy in Book 6 of the Plainsman Western Series. With the Civil War raging across the land, Reuben thought Colorado Territory was far enough away from the fighting. His time of peace would be short-lived as he was called to South Park to quell southern sympathisers' recruiting efforts. After leaving their peaceful cabin in the mountains, and being confronted by a suspicious band of partisans, he was forced to do what he could to deal a measure of justice to a band of Confederate Guerrillas-the notorious Reynolds gang-terrorizing the territory. A complacent sheriff, an absentee militia, and terrified residents made reluctant marshal Reuben's task all the more difficult. Add in some angry miners and businessmen that chose vigilante justice, and the situation rapidly devolved into pandemonium. Reuben's moral character wouldn't allow him to stand by as others were shot down and robbed by uniformed military men, no matter which side of the war they were on. Familiar country beckoned, but so did time alone with his new wife... It was time to make the right decisions, but would he be able to?

Book excerpt: Bestselling Author B.N. Rundell strikes gold once again with the next installment in the continuing saga of Reuben and Elly Grundy, reluctant marshals keeping the peace in God's country. The nation was restless for it was a time of great change. The war was ending, and soldiers were returning to homes that had been destroyed, families that were scattered, and little hope for the future. But the west offered limitless opportunity-and limitless ways to perish. The San Luis Valley of Colorado Territory, where Reuben and Elly Grundy had been tasked with keeping the peace, was particularly fraught with strife. As chief Ouray of the Tabeguache Ute sought to ratify a treaty with the soldiers at Fort Garland, the leaders of the Capote Ute and Mouache Ute were against the white men encroaching on their historic territory. Would the reluctant marshals be able to return peace to the mountain valleys of the lush Colorado Territory? It might require more than somebody with a badge, or even the proven leaders of the native tribes. If they failed, Sangre de Cristo would be more than just the name of the mountains...

Book excerpt: Bestselling Author B.N. Rundell brings to a close the enthralling saga of Reuben and Elly Grundy, reluctant marshals serving a good greater than themselves. The Kiowa, Comanche, and Ute people were restless, angered by the many families uprooted from the east and seeking homesteads in the west, taking their land and making conflict common. Soldiers were fighting and killing them, too, and the buffalo were disappearing at an alarming rate. When displaced guerrillas from the Southern bushwhackers like Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson came west, lusting after gold ripe for the picking, blood began to flow in earnest in the prairies of the West. As the nation was experiencing growing pains, the need for mail and a safe means of transportation prompted the expansion of stagecoach companies, some growing by taking over smaller lines. The reluctant marshals, Reuben and Elly Grundy, are tasked with making peace and ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo alike. A big job for two people, but one they were willing to do. But would they be successful, or would this be the last job they ever have?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B.N. Rundell continues the epic frontier saga which has captivated and delighted so many readers and catapulted the series to continual best seller status. Kaniache, war chief and leader of the Mouache Ute tribe, cared deeply for his people. When Ouray, chief of the Tabeguache Ute, wanted peace and was willing to do whatever the white men asked, even giving up much of their native homeland, he stood at odds with Kaniache. What Ouray was willing to surrender, Kaniache was determined to reclaim. With the aftermath of the Sand Creek massacre still on the minds of the native peoples, few were anxious to accede to the demands of the white men and surrender their sacred lands and hunting grounds. With the experience of broken treaties in their past, the natives were looking to drive all the white men out of the land. Wagon trains were attacked, burned, and looted, women taken captive, but in the San Luis Valley of the high country, few white men had come. That was changing. Now the few soldiers of Fort Garland were faced with keeping peace between the Ute people and the settlers, and Reuben and Elly Grundy were tasked with keeping the gold hunters and settlers out of Indian territory. But when a map of lost treasure tempts gold hunters, trouble rears its ugly head and people will die, but will they be native or newcomers? And will the deputy marshals be able to keep the peace? Only time will tell and history record what happens in the high country of Colorado Territory in 1865.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second high-action volume in Peter Brandvold's explosive new western series, Town Marshal "Bloody" Joe Mannion plays cat and mouse with an old enemy... Joe believes the old regulator, "Long-Shot" Hunter Drago, who did twelve years' hard time because of Mannion, has moved to the town of Del Norte in the Colorado Territory to kill him. But, nearly everyone else in town believes that he merely moved to Del Norte to take over the Three-Legged Dog Saloon and to begin a new, peaceful life for himself. Mannion, who doesn't believe in coincidences but does know the nature of "Long Shot's" black heart, doesn't buy a word of it. The rest of the town, including his lover, Jane Ford, thinks Mannion's just being his old, stubborn, bloody self-especially when he catches Drago palling around with his daughter, Evangeline, and beats the old killer half to death on Del Norte's main street for all to see. Bloody Joe has finally gone too far. The town's powers-that-be believe it's time for Joe to go. As the game of cat and mouse continues, however, and Mannion finds himself dodging a veritable lead storm nearly everywhere he goes, he finally finds himself in a bloody showdown on the stone mountain called Burial Rock, where he finds that not only his own life hangs in the balance but Jane Ford's life, as well. He's going to have to move fast and shoot straight to escape a blood bath...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A BRAND-NEW CLASSIC WESTERN SERIES FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR B.N. RUNDELL. Every time he squeezed the trigger, somebody died. He thought it was just the way of the war, but after taking a couple bullets and being mustered out, it continued. When he stood over the ashes of his family's farm and stared at their graves, the same bile rose in his throat, and he knew somebody was going to have to pay... and pay with their blood. This was to be the beginning of a blood hunt that would take Reuben Grundy across four states, pit him against renegade outlaws posing as the Home Guard for the north, the Bushwhackers of Captain Quantrill and the men in butternut and grey, as well as the mighty Pawnee of the plains. His father had taught young Reuben to never look for others to do what needs to be done, even if it means putting his life on the line. And Reuben would do just that, with his training as one of Berdan's Sharpshooters at the outset of the war between the states, and his own time beside his father in the woods, Reuben was destined to become one of the most feared hunters of the plains. Whether it was for man or beast, when his sights settled on the target, death was sure to follow.

In this nonfiction account, Dee Brown focuses on the betrayals, battles, and massacres suffered by American Indians between 1860 and 1890. He tells of the many tribes and their renowned chiefs—from Geronimo to Red Cloud, Sitting Bull to Crazy Horse—who struggled to combat the destruction of their people and culture. Forcefully written and meticulously researched, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee inspired a generation to take a second look at how the West was won.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Klondike gold rush peaked in spring 1898, adventurers and gamblers rubbed shoulders with town-builders and gold-panners in Skagway, Alaska. The flow of riches lured confidence men, too—among them Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith (1860–98), who with an entourage of “bunco-men” conned and robbed the stampeders. Soapy, though, a common enough criminal, would go down in legend as the Robin Hood of Alaska, the “uncrowned king of Skagway,” remembered for his charm and generosity, even for calming a lynch mob. When the Fourth of July was celebrated in ’98, he supposedly led the parade. Then, a few days later, he was dead, killed in a shootout over a card game. With Smith’s death, Skagway rid itself of crime forever. Or at least, so the story goes. Journalists immediately cast him as a martyr whose death redeemed a violent town. In fact, he was just a petty criminal and card shark, as Catherine Holder Spude proves definitively in “That Fiend in Hell”: Soapy Smith in Legend, a tour de force of historical debunking that documents Smith’s elevation to western hero. In sorting out the facts about this man and his death from fiction, Spude concludes that the actual Soapy was not the legendary “boss of Skagway,” nor was he killed by Frank Reid, as early historians supposed. She shows that even eyewitnesses who knew the truth later changed their stories to fit the myth. But why? Tracking down some hundred retellings of the Soapy Smith story, Spude traces the efforts of Skagway’s boosters to reinforce a morality tale at the expense of a complex story of town-building and government formation. The idea that Smith’s death had made a lawless town safe served Skagway’s economic interests. Spude’s engaging deconstruction of Soapy’s story models deep research and skepticism crucial to understanding the history of the American frontier.
