A wrongly accused man fights to regain ownership of his ranch,
while another tracks down an imposter who has stolen his identity.
In "When a Gunman Steals a War," Tom Fortune, who has been
sentenced to twenty years in prison because of bravery during a
penitentiary fire and the flimsy evidence that convicted him in the
first place, is paroled. He is reminded by the warden that he
cannot violate his parole, or he will be forced to serve the
remaining seventeen years. Fortune returns to Sundown country and
the XO Ranch, of which he was half owner, only to find that Sheriff
Bent Hooker and his two brothers now own the XO. Can Fortune fight
for his rights against the Hookers when he cannot, as a condition
of his parole, even use a gun? The title piece, "Travis," tells the
story of Roger Travis who returns from Central America, where he
had nearly died. Landing in San Francisco, Travis tries to draw
money against a certificate of deposit at the South Bay Bank, only
to learn that his account has been cleaned out by another person
named Roger Travis, and that the bank was instrumental in
processing a substantial inheritance for him. The banker is
convinced that the real Roger Travis is a fraud and wants him
arrested. In a desperate ploy, Travis escapes. He knows that the
imposter is somewhere in New Mexico Territory, and he intends to
give pursuit. What he doesn't know is how Roger Travis has won
himself stature in the community with prudent investments he has
half ownership of a ranch, and a number of dangerous and
unscrupulous men working for him. This Roger Travis believes the
real Roger Travis is dead. When he finds out the truth, he knows
that there is only one way to deal with the problem . . . Skyhorse
