this peaceful town
The light plane loaded with two million dollars worth of cocaine
drifted through the night sky over the Chihuahuan desert searching
for a lighted strip in the mountains near the Texas border. The
pilot spotted the strip lined with crude lights. He made a low pass
over the area, set the plane down and taxied to the end of the
strip where two vans were located. He killed the engine and stepped
out of the plane. Two men stood near his door. He saw the two men
fall to the ground and then he fell to the ground - all three very
dead. Several armed men dressed in black rushed the two vans.
Within seconds, several men, again dressed in black, rushed the
plane and removed the cocaine from the cargo area. Another man slid
into the pilot's seat, fired the engine up and flew the plane into
Texas.
Others in the dope cartel had been killed or captured in the
little village of Santa Rosa on the Rio Grande, 18 miles south of
the strip. These actions had been practiced many times. It was near
the end of a carefully planned exercise to rid the village of the
deadly cartel forever. It went like clockwork. The bad guys lose
and the good guys win.
Sam DeLeon had planned this, with a few of his friends from the
agency they worked for, and the men of the village. Sam was retired
from a big city P.D. in Texas and had fallen in love with a woman
that lived in the village. The cartel people were very cruel to the
villagers. Sam and his people put a stop to their activities in
Santa Rosa.
Further investigation revealed that there was more than dope on
that plane, much more.

As I grew up hearing stories of my grandfather and his adventures
in life, I wrote a novel and called it West by Bullwhip. It was
historical fiction but many of the life stories about my
grandfather, James Alburn Knight, later picking up the name Jack,
and his family were true happenings. Bullwhip Justice has many of
the same characters but is total fiction. My publisher for the
first book said I had failed to put romance in the book and needed
to write about a love interest for my main character. So we now
have Bullwhip Justice and a love affair that carries our main
character on highs and lows of several magnitudes. It fulfills the
meaning behind the title. Jack continues his skillful use of the
bullwhip and finds the use helpful in reducing the death rate in
the growing west saving the final justice as the perfect place to
display the diversity of the bullwhip.

The Real Western Canon Larry McMurtry, the preeminent chronicler of the American West, celebrates the best of contemporary Western short fiction, introducing a stellar collection of twenty stories that represent, in various ways, the coming-of-age of the legendary American frontier. Featuring a veritable Who's Who of the century's most distinctive writers, this collection effectively departs from the standard superstars of the Western genre. McMurtry has chosen a refreshing range of work that, when taken as a whole, depicts the evolution and maturation of Western writing over several decades. The featured tales are not so concerned with the American West of history and geography as they are with the American West of the imagination -- one that is alternately comic, gritty, individual, searing, and complex.

stung John Hare's fainting spirit into life. He opened his eyes.
The desert still stretched before him, the appalling thing that had
overpowered him with its deceiving purple distance. Near by stood a
sombre group of men. Leave him here, said one, addressing a
gray-bearded giant. "He's the fellow sent into southern Utah to spy
out the cattle thieves. He's all but dead. Dene's out-laws are
after him. Don't cross Dene." The stately answer might have come
from a Scottish Covenanter or a follower of Cromwell. Martin Cole,
I will not go a hair's-breadth out of my way for Dene or any other
man. You forget your religion. I see my duty to God.

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Joan Randle reined in her horse on
the crest of the cedar ridge, and with remorse and dread beginning
to knock at her heart she gazed before her at the wild and looming
mountain range. Jim wasn't fooling me, she said. "He meant it. He's
going straight for the border ... Oh, why did I taunt him " It was
indeed a wild place, that southern border of Idaho, and that year
was to see the ushering in of the wildest time probably ever known
in the West. The rush for gold had peopled California with a horde
of lawless men of every kind and class. And the vigilantes and then
the rich strikes in Idaho had caused a reflux of that dark tide of
humanity. Strange tales of blood and gold drifted into the camps,
and prospectors and hunters met with many unknown men.
English novelist Harold E. Bindloss spent a number of years in
Western Canada during his youth. Because of these experiences, many

Damaged Reputation (1908), Masters of the Wheat-Lands (1910),
Carmen's Messenger (1917), The Girl From Keller's (1917), Sadie's
Conquest (1918), Lister's Great Adventure (1920), Pine-Creek Ranch
(1926), Border Trail (1931) Jungle Gold (1932) and Forbidden Rivers
(1936).
This Novel will capture your heart and mind as you begin this
pilgrimage with Red (Fingers) Bolton. He left his high desert
homeland in pursuit on the drifters that had killed his family. His
journey led him far into the Northwest Territory of Oregon. This
action packed western thriller is a love story between a young man
and his beautiful devoted wife who experience extreme dramatic
events early in 1874.
