In "Joe Pepper, "the titular character, while awaiting a
hangman's noose, tells the story of how he discovered a propensity
for violence while seeking revenge. The irony is that Joe's keen
sense of justice puts him on he wrong side of the law.
"Long Way to Texas," taking place just after the Civil War battle
of Glorieta Pass in New Mexico, is the story of Lt. David Buckalew,
whose remnant of Confederate riflemen is under siege and low on
rations and water. Complicating matters is the young officer's
self-doubt and fear of failure.
Thomas Canfield of "Eyes of the Hawk, "known to the Mexican
citizens of his town of Stonehill, Texas, as "El Gavilan"--the
Hawk--is not a man to forgive a wrong. He sets out to prove this to
an insolent ranchman rival who intends to build a fortune at
Canfield's expense. The Hawk has a radically different idea: he
will destroy the town before yielding to his enemy.
This omnibus edition of three novels by Elmer Kelton features an
