These traits serve him well as a conscript cavalryman in the Confederate Army. His courage in combat and his resourcefulness in dangerous situations earn the attention, admiration, and friendship of his sergeant, Ben Haley. Slightly older and more levelheaded, Ben is a big brother mentor to the impetuous Tom during the war, and afterwards, they continue as friends and partners. Seeking new lives in the West, the two young men sign on with the Union Pacific. Serving as mounted guards, their duty is to protect construction workers on the transcontinental railroad from marauding Indians. With the battles of the war behind them, new and exciting adventures await as Tom and Ben face the many perils and the violence of the expanding frontier. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1378935 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1478931 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1267860 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1392755 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1251719 The Scottish Highlands, 1885. Two men, brandishing knives, attack a young woman outside a pub. Duff MacCallister steps in and saves her--killing one of the assailants. Big mistake. The attacker was the sheriffs son, and now MacCallister is marked for death. His only hope: America. Here, in the sprawling land of dreams, Duff hopes to start a new life with his American cousins. Unfortunately, the sheriffs deputies are tracking him down--with nine of the deadliest cutthroats money can buy. Blazing a trail of blood and bullets all the way to the Rockies, Duff has to kill his enemies one by one--or die trying. But this time, Duff is not alone. He has a new ally by his side. A living legend of frontier justice. His cousin the gunslinger known as Falcon MacCallister...--P.

For thirteen years he was sided by deputy marshal Dave Adams, a white man. Bennie Reeves was Bass son, who shot down his unarmed wife who had been cheating on him and then disappeared. U.S. Marshal Leo E. Bennett had reservations about handing the warrant to Bass Reeves to be served against Bennie, but for Bass there was no reservation. His son had broken the law and was a fugitive. Bass thought he knew where to look for his son, and he found him and arrested him. But then Bennie was suddenly freed from custody by the notorious Cherokee Bob Dozier and his gang of renegades. So when the pursuit continued, it was now fraught with far more danger. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1306869 With only memories of his family left to him, Jubal Young rides west into New Mexico in order to bring justice, or vengeance, to the drunken renegades that took everything from him. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1390699 Frank Morgan survived his first trip to Alaska.

Actually, he spends most of his time resenting Richard Hahn, the man whos living with the woman John loves, Johns wife, Jessie. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1432581 The only way to escape the purgatory of the Florence Stockade was to die. So on February 3, 1865, Zebulon Hogan died and was buried in the prisoners cemetery. It was young Ebenezer Chase, a runaway slave, who saw his hand clawing out of the dirt over the shallow grave. Zeb swore an oath to the other prisoners to hunt and kill a traitorous sergeant, but he knows nothing of the surrounding country. Ebenezer does. Together, they may get where they want to go. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1267859 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1509011 The Scottish Highlands, 1885.

Thats why a wealthy trader hires the mountain man called Preacher to keep his trade goods safe--and hopefully deliver a flock of pilgrims to a Promised Land. A young prostitute.

And both outlaws and Comanches ambush the wagon train... Now, the travelers are surrounded by predators of every shape and stripe. For Preacher, there is only one way to go--straight into the heart of danger, to blaze a killing trail of his own...--P.
