at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Buffalo Jones needs no introduction
to American sportsmen, but to these of my readers who are
unacquainted with him a few words may not be amiss. He was born
sixty-two years ago on the Illinois prairie, and he has devoted
practically all of his life to the pursuit of wild animals. It has
been a pursuit which owed its unflagging energy and indomitable
purpose to a singular passion, almost an obsession, to capture
alive, not to kill. He has caught and broken the will of every
well-known wild beast native to western North America. Killing was
repulsive to him. He even disliked the sight of a sporting rifle,
though for years necessity compelled him to earn his livelihood by
supplying the meat of buffalo to the caravans crossing the plains.
At last, seeing that the extinction of the noble beasts was
inevitable, he smashed his rifle over a wagon wheel and vowed to
save the species. For ten years he labored, pursuing, capturing and
taming buffalo, for which the West gave him fame, and the name
Preserver of the American Bison.

Buried Confederate treasure, a suspicious death and the fate of
a little girl's birthright conspire to lure a drifting cowhand on
an unwanted journey through post-Civil War Texas. It is a journey
marked by danger, death, and mystery. At the terminus awaits an old
foe, a new love, and unimaginable riches.
Here is the story of young Jeremiah Goldberg, a 10-year-old in the
burg of Stillwater, California in 1880, a boomtown with mystery,
murder, and intrigue at its core. For Jeremiah and his trusty pals,
Rachel Burgoyne and Fong Lee, there's adventure to be mined, and
Red Gold delivers the mother lode with aplomb. Like the dime novels
featuring the setting-the-world-to-rights avenger McAlester, so
beloved of our pint-sized hero, Red Gold tells the tale of a Jewish
boy becoming a man when events threaten to turn Jeremiah's actual
life into a story torn from the pages of pulp fiction.

The Trail Never Ends, Montana Kid Hammer's third novel in his
series, trails Ornery and Slim into another set of high adventures;
escapades that grow out of the very frontier that holds them fast.
Ornery, a Civil War survivor turned veteran cowhand, and Slim, a
young orphan from Philadelphia and a burgeoning cowman in his own
right, partner up to ride for the brand handled simply as the O U T
(Oh-Ewe-Tee) Spread. Their third season of cow crafting finds this
pair in the company of, or referenced to, such historic old west
personages as, Wyatt Earp, Teddy Blue Abbott, Crazy Horse, and
Teddy Roosevelt. Ornery, Slim, and the other hands of the outfit
experience such calamities as encounters with rustlers, prairie
storms, unsavory saloon types, sheep wars, cantankerous US Army
personnel, and wonderful womanly wiles that up the ante of their
challenges and try both soul and gun hand. Kid's Old West series is
intended to rekindle fond recollections of Old West evenings sat
around campfires to a passel of never before told bone rattling and
hair-raising cowman tales. Offered is a unique opportunity to
'ride' back to those wild and wooly days of America's western
yesteryears.

the task of delivering Hannah to Texas to stand trial for murder.
But when he and Hannah head out together though the sage cloaked
range of a wild and dangerous west, his skills as a ranger are put
to the test as he too becomes a target. Their nightmare, however,
is only beginning, as Jack and Hannah must race to save their very
lives from men who will stop at nothing to get what they seek. With
time running out, can Jack prove Hannah's innocence and at the same
time uncover a killer's dirty secret without risking his fidelity
to duty which he values more than all else, save the life he has
now sworn to protect...."
