Genre: Western
The only riches Texans had left after the Civil War were five million maverick longhorns and the brains, brawn, and boldness to drive them to the railroad. Despite the hazards of trailing longhorns across some three hundred miles of Indian Territory, this was the only way to get them where the money was. Ralph Compton brings this violent and magnificent time to life in an extraordinary Western epic based on the history-blazing trail drives.
Book 15 – The Alamosa Trail (Robert Vaughan)
After the merciless Blizzard of 1886, times are tough, but on the Trailback Ranch, the cowboys are tougher. From horse racing to train robbing, they’ll survive on whatever schemes their wits can muster until a job comes their way . . . And infamous gunslinger Clay Allison needs a few good men to rustle a herd up from Mexico into Colorado across the equally infamous Alamosa.
Book 16 – The Bozeman Trail (Robert Vaughan)
James Cason…son of the owner of the Long Shadow ranch and head of a posse that tracked Mexican bandits across the border and killed their leader. Duke Faglier…wanted by both sides of the law for killing the men who murdered his family. Revelation Scatteregood…suspected of being a rustler alongside her four brothers — and ready to start a new life for herself. Together they will drive a heard of cattle from San Antonio, Texas to the Dakota Territory for one large payoff. But as they head off on the trail that leads through Sioux country, the Civil War rages, gold fever strikes, deadly enemies lurk–and they’re not sure if they can trust one another.
Book 17 – The Abilene Trail (Dusty Richards)
A former Confederate Army officer, Ben McCullough is now a rancher in the Texas hill country, hoping to earn enough money to settle down and marry. With eight hundred head of cattle to drive north, Ben is relying on his ex-sergeant, Hap, and a bunch of greenhorns he’s recruited to help. But the stampedes and raging rivers are nothing compared to the gang of outlaws waiting to rustle the herd.
Book 19 – The Palo Duro Trail (Jory Sherman)
The ranchers of Frio Springs are praying that veteran cowpuncher Sam Ketchum will succeed in driving their cattle to the rich markets of Nebraska. But ghosts still haunt Sam from his last drive-and the road has only become tougher. Comanches, cattle, and notorious gunslingers wait to strike along the way. To make matters worse, Sam finds himself caught up in a deadly family feud that he may have to settle before his own trail comes to an end.
Book 20 – The Ogallala Trail (Dusty Richards)
The ranchers of Frio Springs are praying that Sam Ketchum will succeed in driving their cattle to the richer markets of Nebraska. Sure, there’s no one more reliable. But ghosts still haunt Sam from his last drive—and the road north has only become tougher. Comanches and cattle thieves lie hidden in the brush, poised to ambush, and notorious gunslingers lurk in every town along the way.
And to make matters worse, the Wagner brothers have picked a fight back home, sparking a deadly family feud that Sam may have to settle before the trail finally ends…
Book 21 – The Ellsworth Trail (Jory Sherman)
Jock Kane would do anything for his buddy Chad Becker—except drive the rancher’s longhorns to the Ellsworth railhead in Kansas. Having lost his fortune and his faith on the last trail, and his beloved wife, Twyla, to a killer, Jock’s not looking for adventure. What gets him off his tail is finding out who’s vying with Chad for the Kansas sale. It’s none other than Twyla’s cold-blooded killer himself—Jock’s own brother, Abel, now in cahoots with a Yankee carpetbagger. Now there’s no hailstorm violent enough, no Apache savage enough, and no trail-drive turncoat dirty enough to stop Jock from redefining justice and revenge…
Book 22 – The Tenderfoot Trail (Joseph A. West)
In this Ralph Compton western, even the most rugged trailsman has to watch his steps…
It’s called the Whoop-Up Trail. It’s a two hundred mile stretch of rough terrain between Montana and Canada, littered with spiky brushwood, crawling with clawed and fanged critters of all shapes and sizes, and traversed by hostile Indians and vicious outlaws.
But for Luke Garrett—framed for a murder he didn’t commit, saddled with five mail-order brides, driving what’s left of his cattle herd, and pursued by vigilantes—it’s the only chance for survival…
Book 24 – The Amarillo Trail (Jory Sherman)
Doc Blaine has signed a big contract with a cattle buyer up in Kansas. After a couple more good springs, Doc might finally be able to retire, but for now he’ll have to contend with a band of marauding brothers who are out for vengeance against the Blaines.
Another set of brothers might prove to be the bigger liability—his own sons. Doc needs sizeable herds from each, but Miles and Jared Blaine have been feuding for years over the same woman—even after Miles married her. And Jared once vowed that someday he would kill his younger brother—a threat he never took back…
But Doc believes he can get both sons to Kansas—as long as one doesn’t know the other is making the same drive…
Book 25 – The Omaha Trail (Jory Sherman)
Dane Kramer looks forward to the day when his sprawling Oklahoma cattle ranch will truly be his—no strings attached. With only one more bank payment to make, and a buyer in Omaha ready to pay top dollar for a herd of Herefords, he should finally have the banker Earl Throckmorton off his back. But Earl has a plan to keep the ranch for himself, and if he has his way, Dane’s herd will never make it across the Omaha Trail—and Dane won’t make it home alive…
Up against Earl’s hired gang of outlaws, Dane must do whatever it takes to bring in the herd—but Earl has more than one trick up his sleeve. Planting one of his own men in Dane’s newly hired team of cowhands could be just the insurance he needs…
