Book excerpt: There are some men who play life as safe as it can be played, satisfied with their thirty a month and beans, satisfied to take orders, to have each twenty-four hours planned for them by someone else and to wind up their days riding the grub line and swamping out a saloon. But there are other men who risk everything from their daily sweat to their lives for a chance to own their outfits, to live as free as the wind that daily blows across the Plains. Such a man was Dan Reardon. This book is the story of how this man worked for his land and of how he fought a ruthless and powerful neighbor to keep it in a time when the only law was what each man made for himself.

Book excerpt: Murdo Morgan returned to Paradise Valley, Oregon, expecting trouble. Sixteen years earlier, his father had planned to help hundreds of families settle in the valley. Not wanting to lose their spread, local ranchers had murdered Morgan's brothers and driven his family away. Now Morgan owned half the valley, but he'd had to borrow money from ruthless bankers to buy the land. With the ranchers gunning to stop him from selling his acres to new settlers, and the bankers waiting to foreclose if he didn't, Morgan's back was pinned to the wall. But he'd shot his way out of tight spots before, and he was more than willing to cut down anyone who stood in the way of making his father's dream come true.

Book excerpt: THOSE EYES. THEY’D SEEN HIS FATHER TORTURED AND A DOZEN OTHER MEN DIE. NOW THEY WERE LOOKING TO KILL EVERY MAN WHO CALLED HIMSELF “RANCHER.” A BOY WHO SEES HIS PA DIE LIKE AN ANIMAL BECOMES A MAN WHO KILLS LIKE ONE. His father's "crime" was building a home in a green Oregon valley. His father's killers were ranchers who believed their greed and guns gave them a lease on every man's land—and every man's life. As Cassidy grew older, he grew quieter and meaner. He was learning the killing skills of a gunman and he was waiting. Waiting for the day he could kill enough ranchers to ease his hatred. But for a hatred as big as Cassidy’s, “enough” meant the whole rotten breed. Then he got his chance. Ranchers were hiring guns for a range war. They wanted every settler swinging from a tree. Cassidy knew if the settlers had one gun fast enough and a leader who hated enough, it wouldn't be the settlers hanging in the Wyoming wind. Three-time Winner of the Spur Award Wayne D.

Book excerpt: SPUR AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR Bill Varney is twenty-three years old and resents the way he has been treated by his father, ruthless ranch owner Old Mike Varney; he is just a hired hand on the Pitchfork Ranch, sleeping in the bunkhouse with the other hands. If Old Mike had ever cared about anybody, it's Bill's twin sister, Vida. She lives in the ranch house with her father and cares deeply about the old man. Bill's girl friend, Marian Tracey, who operates a millinery shop in the nearby town of Broken Nose, is so distracted by the constant care demanded by her ailing mother that she cannot make a commitment to Bill. But it does seem that Marian might make a commitment to rich storekeeper Phil Nider, a man twice her age. Then a gunman named Ace Kehoe comes to Broken Nose and declares that he intends to have a showdown with Old Mike. Although Old Mike is impaired by arthritis, the old man won't back down to anyone, including some upstart gunfighter. Vida pleads with Bill to intervene and take on Ace Kehoe himself. Bill is convinced that even if he does take Old Mike's place in a showdown with Ace Kehoe, and lives through it, it won't earn him anything but more of Old Mike's stubborn contempt. In every way Bill stands to lose everything, his life as well as any chance for happiness.
