Marshal Wallace McKenney
Summary
Honor, courage, and a profound sense of right and wrong! These are the character traits Marshal Wallace McKenney lives by. His reputation is known far and wide in Kansas and neighboring states. Those on the other side of the law usually give him and his pearl-handled Colt a wide berth. Those that don’t...well, they pay the price. Several deadly raids on settlers and wagon trains prompt Marshal McKenney to deputize three men he trusts with his life: Bull, a man shaped like a barrel, his cousin Matt, and his younger womanizing brother, Alex. The marshal and his men set out to hunt down the murderous raiders, be they Indians or outlaws. However, they find themselves outsmarted as the raiders keep killing without a trace. A local Indian with remarkable tracking skills, Kiowa Joe, is asked to solve the mystery of the vanishing tracks. Tensions mount and bullets fly when the posse comes face to face with the killers. Will the marshal keep his sense of justice and honor when confronted with such savage brutality? Ride along with Marshal McKenney, Alex, Matt, Bull, and Kiowa Joe as they face dangers from all sides to restore peace to the Leavenworth area. Another classic Western you’ll enjoy right to the very end.

Wagons West
Summary
He was a greenhorn but didn’t know it. When Bruce Cowan takes his family and flees Boston to homestead out west, he figures the journey to California to be long but safe. Their first day out reveals how wrong he is and the perilous dangers of the Santa Fe Trail. It would be a massacre but for Trent and Pat MacLeod. Trent favors a Sharps .50 caliber buffalo rifle while his younger brother, Pat, packs two Texas Navy Colts. They both prove deadly and a force to be reckoned with. The Cowans and the McLeod brothers forge a bond those first few days, sustained in part by Trent’s attraction to the 18-year-old Becky Cowan. His overtures are not returned. The brothers join the Cowans on their hazardous journey west as they face harsh conditions, bandits, and Indian attacks. Will their oxen survive the trip? Will the man Bruce Cowan is fleeing catch up with them? Should they take the Cimarron Cutoff through the desert or stick with the Santa Fe Trail through the mountains? Even with the help of Trent and Pat, the Cowans are forced to learn quickly to survive the rigorous demands of the Wild West.
