Dead Man Riding
Van Holt
4.7 Stars (6 Reviews)
Genre: History | Westerns

Pre-release pricing for a limited time! Regularly $7.99

In this Eastwoodish western, no one in that troubled part of Texas had ever heard of anyone named Fanton, but that was the name prodigal brother Hawk Spradlin whispered just before he pulled his gun on a quiet, grim stranger and got himself killed.

It happened one evening just before dark in Hoot Spradlin’s dugout store and saloon. The skinflint rancher was saving his coal oil until full darkness forced him to light a lamp, and he could not see the stranger clearly. But he got the drop on the tall man from behind with his shotgun, disarmed him and with the help of his lawless riders he hung Fanton to a cottonwood tree and left him hanging there that dark stormy night.

The next morning the noose hung empty from the cottonwood limb. The man they had hung was gone. Hoot Spradlin ordered his men to hunt Fanton down and kill him. They didn’t know whether they were hunting a real man or a ghost. But one thing was certain – he could ride and shoot like the devil.

The Hellbound Man
Van Holt
4.8 Stars (6 Reviews)
Genre: History

On sale for a limited time! Regularly $7.99.

Jim Benton had come to think of himself as the hellbound man because he seemed to be headed in that direction. But there were some interesting stops along the way. One such stop was a lawless little town called Rustler’s Roost in honor of some charming young men who seemed to think other men’s cattle, horses and women were theirs for the taking.

But Benton had them worried. He didn’t seem afraid of them and when somebody shot at him he shot back – with alarming accuracy. They were afraid somebody had sent for him to put a stop to the rustling. One of the local ranchers or perhaps old Charlie Fry who had the biggest store in town and two beautiful stepdaughters, but also had his eye on the ranch of a man who owed him money and the man’s wild daughter, who galloped about the country on a palomino almost the same color as her windblown hair. One of the rustlers had already put his outlaw brand on her and two others were plotting to kill Benton to make sure he didn’t get too friendly with Fry’s girls.

When the shooting was over some more dead men littered the trail behind Benton and it was time for the hellbound man to ride on toward his final destination.

Rebel With A Gun
Van Holt
4.9 Stars (7 Reviews)
Genre: History

Pre-release pricing! Regular price will be $7.99!

REBEL WITH A GUN

He was fifteen when the Civil War started, nineteen when it ended. His parents were dead by then, their farm sold for the taxes. The girl he loved had married a boy he hated. Nothing seemed right.

So he headed for Texas with a disreputable old snake oil peddler and a beautiful blonde with a jealous husband and a dangerous secret that could get them all killed.

Even though he had ridden with Quantrill and Bloody Bill, he was not like the others. Many of them were not the only bushwhackers who flourished during the war. Men just like them had waved the Union flag and used it to cloak their crimes, and now that the fighting was over not all of them would be content to lay down their arms and return to their former pursuits. Some, like their southern counterparts, would become outlaws. Many on both sides had never been anything else, and for them the war had just been a continuation of a life of lawlessness and violence. Now they would use the unsettled conditions in the wake of the war to camouflage their activities.

Of course, many would go west, especially to Texas. For years men had been going to Texas who were wanted or not wanted in other states. There was a well-known saying— “Gone to Texas.” It usually applied to men who had gone there a jump ahead of the law.
