It was no work for a woman. That's what they told Mary Breydon when she came to manage a rundown stagecoach station on the Cherokee Trail. But Mary had no choice. Her fine Virginia home burned to ashes in the Civil War and her husband was brutally shot down on the way to Colorado. She needed to make a new beginning for herself and her young daughter on the raw frontier. Isolated in an untamed land, their life at the station was achingly hard and they faced the constant danger of attacks by outlaws and marauding Indians. Yet, with the support of a spirited Irish woman, a fearless orphan boy, and, most of all, the mysterious gunman Temple Boone, Mary found the courage to shape her station into a vital stop on America's westward journey. Until the vicious murderer whose bloody rampages had stained her past suddenly stalked Mary Breydon to Cherokee Station.

From the same corral that produced the widely loved "Horse
Tradin'," Ben K. Green has rounded up fifteen new yarns filled with
the ornery yet irresistible style that has earned his books a place
in classic Western Americana.
"Some More Horse Tradin'" recounts the dealings of a whole slew
of craggy old-timers and rangy characters. See them match wits as
they trade well-bred mares, snorty-like range colts, and
used-to-be-bad horses from the tumbleweed plains. Admire the
old-time knavery, skill, and salesmanship in such tales as "Gittin'
Even," "Brethren Horse Traders," "Mule Schoolin'," and "Water
Treatment and the Sore-Tailed Bronc." Ride along with Green, and
he'll tell you what he knows about horseflesh--but keep your wits
about you, and hang on to your wallet.
Lance Gordon's running out of room and time. Back in the Sierras he
killed the man who murdered his father. Unfortunately that man
turned out to be a Deputy Marshal, and now Lance has a price on his
head. Like Alan Ladd as Shane, Lance wants only to live in peace,
but he'll have to go through hell to get there.
Running from the law and the cavalry, Lance heads for the one place
no sheriff or soldier will go--into the territory ruled by The
Baron of Coyote River. The Baron is the king of the cattle
rustlers--as feared and hated as he is powerful. No one dares take
him on . . . until now.
Lance is sick of running, and taking on the Baron is his last
chance for a second chance. Before the battle is over, Coyote River
will run red with blood, as Lance has vowed to redeem himself . . .
or die trying.
Hubbard often reminisced about his rough and tumble childhood in
Montana. "At the age of three-and-a-half I could ride quite well. .
. . They never let me ride any blooded stock; they always insisted
that I only ride range broncs and mustangs. It did not matter how
often I was thrown when a mustang exploded under me, it was I who
was always scolded and cautioned not to be mean to the horses."
Memories such as this remind us that Hubbard himself inhabited the
world of The Baron of Coyote River.
Also includes the Western adventure, Reign of the Gila Monster, in
which a stranger rides into the roughest, toughest town in the
West--and sets out to show the town who's boss.
""Take a hard ride into a lawless corner of the Arizona territory,
as the audio version of The Baron of Coyote River brings a stampede
of action to life.
"It delivers plenty of action." "--AudioBook News Service"
