FOUR classic rip-roaring, action-packed western novels by three masters of the genre in one ebook edition.
APACHE WELLS – Robert Steelman
It’s 1876. Three brothers head west to California to find their fortune, but end up settling in the Arizona badlands instead. There’s courageous Big Saul, as huge and solid as the boulders he used to build his earthen home… there’s his middle brother Dave, who is fast with a gun and with women, including Saul’s wife Eda, who runs off with him…and there’s teenage Joey, perhaps too honest and too innocent for the brutal country he’s trying to tame before it beats him down.
“Steelman’s plotting is superb… a tremendous sense of realism. Apache Wells is a terrific tale.” Paperback Warrior
THE CABIN AT THE TRAIL’S END – Sheba Hargreaves
Winner of the Oregon State Historical Society Award for Best Novel
The opening novel in Sheba Hargreaves’ beloved Oregon trilogy is back in print for the first time in over 70 years. It’s the unforgettable story of the Bainbridge family, who arrive in Oregon’s Willamette valley in 1843, and their heroic struggle to survive against seemingly insurmountable hardships to make new lives for themselves in a beautiful, but unforgiving new land.
“A convincing and authentic picture of Oregon’s pioneer days.” Detroit Free Press
THE ROAD TO MANY A WONDER – David Wagoner
“One of the wildest, funniest, and most memorable trips ever dreamed up by a novelist. Wagoner is a master story-teller.” Chicago Tribune
It’s 1859, and twenty-year-old Ike Bender, eager to escape the yoke of his brutal father, runs away from his family’s hard-scrabble Nebraska farm with dreams of making his fortune in the gold-rush country around Pike’s Peak, where his older brother Kit has already fled. Ike sets out alone, armed with only his home-made wheelbarrow, a side of bacon, an old pick-ax, a few dollars, and the love of plucky, head-strong teenager Millicent Slaughter to sustain his dangerous, 500-mile journey.
A MEDICO ON THE TRAIL – James L. Rubel
A western classic, back in print for the first time in 85 years!
Dr. Cliff Monroe treats Shan Jungward, a nestor’s ill daughter, inadvertently sparking a bloody range war between the homesteaders and the allied forces of cowmen and sheepherders. The conflict leads to homes being torched, cattle being slaughtered, and the potential massacre of entire families. To stop the destruction and bloodshed, and bring peace back to Painted Springs, Monroe has to strap on his guns and become the law once again…
This book, published in 1938, was the third novel in Rubel’s Medico of the West series. It was filmed in 1941 as the movie Prairie Stranger, starring Charles Starrett. The fourth book in the series, The Doctor of the West, was published in the UK under the pseudonym “Mason Macrae.”
