THE RUSTLER OF WIND RIVER is an exciting tale of the attempts of the unscrupulous cattlemen to drive the homesteader from their holdings and leave the land free for grazing. Alan Macdonald leads the homesteaders in their defense and, after many misunderstandings and unjust accusations clears his love story as well.

In CLAIM NUMBER ONE, rich men, poor men, beggarmen, thieves impelled by the lure of chance had gathered at the mushroom city of Comanche. The drawing was to be by lot and the lucky holder of number one was entitled to first choice of the rich lands. It meant a fortune. Dr. Warren Slavens drew claim number one, but before he established his ownership he have a hard battle with crooks and politicians.

When Jerry Lambert, "the Duke," attempts to safeguard the cattle ranch of Vesta Philbrook from thieving neighbors in THE DUKE OF CHIMNEY BUTTE, his work is appallingly handicapped because of Grace Kerr, one of the chief agitators, and a deadly enemy of Vesta's. A stirring tale of brave deeds, gun-play and a love that shines above all.

In THE FLOCKMASTER OF POISON CREEK, John Mackenzie trod the trail from Jasper to the great sheep country where fortunes were being made by the flock-masters. Shepherding was not a peaceful pursuit in those bygone days. Adventure met him at every turn--there is a girl of course--men fight their best fights for a woman--it is an epic of the sheeplands.

In TRAIL'S END, Ascalon was the end of the trail for thirsty cowboys who gave vent to their pent-up feelings without restraint. Calvin Morgan was not concerned with its wickedness until Seth Craddock's malevolence directed itself against him. He did not emerge from the maelstrom until he had obliterated every vestige of lawlessness, and assured himself of the safety of a certain dark-eyed girl.
