But the shooting that made him an outlaw was one he didn't do. Though it was his cousin who pulled the trigger, Sterl took the blame, and now he has to leave the country if he wants to stay healthy. Sterl and his loyal friend, Red Krehl, set out for the greatest adventure of their lives, signing on for a cattle drive across the vast northern desert of Australia to the gold fields of the Kimberley Mountains. But it seems no matter where Sterl goes, trouble is bound to follow!One of the finest novels of Zane Grey's career, The Great Trek has never been available in paperback as Grey wrote it—until now. Faced with war-time paper shortages, his publisher cut the novel to barely one-third of its original length and published the result as The Wilderness Trek. Now, finally, Grey's epic full-length novel has been restored and can be read the way it was meant to be.

    Violence is their currency and cruelty their creed. And they've just found a whole wagon train of settlers who are about to become their newest victims. A man of vengeance without pity... Nordstrom was a simple man of the West who helped the settlers find their way. The relentless outlaws repaid him by destroying everything he had lived, worked and fought for. Now he is going to show them what one man can do...when he has nothing left to lose. Blood Mountain is a wild western adventure that has it all – humor, violence and romance!

    With one shot, she would have her revenge on the man who'd killed her father. She'd known that one day he would return to Texas. But Texas wasn't big enough for the two of them, and now her moment of truth had finally arrived.So what was stopping her from pulling the trigger? Perhaps it was the memory of Noble's teasing voice, his soft smile, or the way one glance from his dark Spanish eyes had once stirred her foolish heart to longing. Yes, she had loved him then...as much as she hated him now. One way or another, she would wound him to the heart—if not with bullets, then with her own feminine wiles. But as Rachel was soon to discover, sometimes the line between love and hate is too thinly drawn. Sometimes there is no stopping a deep, smoldering anger from erupting into flames of desire.

    The groom marries the girl his parents chose, but Jeannie cannot forget him, even after she marries Gracie's brother.

    Eyes that looked up at him as he fired the shot that killed her. He hadn't meant to do it. Why did she have to get in the way just as he drew down on the man he was hired to kill? He asked himself that question every day, but he never found the answer, or a way to forgive himself. Even before the girl's body was cold, Lancaster hung up his guns and picked up a bottle. But even the booze couldn't get those blue eyes out of his head. And when he found another little girl who needed his help, a girl as desperate and sad as the one he'd killed, he knew he'd finally found a way to regain his soul...even if it cost him his life in the bargain.

    And any greenhorn unlucky enough to get stranded in a wilderness blizzard faced a brutal death. Settlers like Nathaniel King had the survival skills needed to live through the fierce winter storms, and they willingly helped any stranded traveler. But when Nate took in a pair of strangers who had lost their way in the snow, their kindness was repaid with vile treachery. If King wasn’t careful, he and his young family would not live to see another spring. Blood Truce Under constant threat of Indian attack, a handful of white trappers and traders lived short, violent lives, painfully aware that their next breath could be their last. With only raw courage to aid them, Nathaniel King and other pioneers braved the savage Rockies to claim the freedom they found there. But when a deadly dispute among rival tribes blew up into a bloody war, Nate had to make peace between the enemies—or he and his young family would be the first to lose their scalps.

    Or they would have named it for you, a permanent mark, just for being here."From a new talent that Annie Proulx has called an "important emerging writer" comes a surprising and expansive collection of stories, steeped in the lore of the frontier but unmistakably fresh and of our time.         When We Were Wolves roams over a West we never knew existed--colonized by rogues and tricksters, Custer impersonators, firefighters with a weakness for arson, and the other rootless folk who come to rest under the vast and forgiving desert sky. Jon Billman writes about accidental lives: people who are trapped in unsuitable marriages, impossible situations, but who handle them with the odd grace of those who are determined to live by their own strange code. He mingles the skewed humor of David Sedaris with the loping, rough-edged appeal of Tom McGuane. This is a beguiling new entry on the map of American fiction.

This is the story of Michael Diamond's coming of age, of finding grace in tragedy.

The Mormon leader mustered his own illegal army--the Nauvoo Legion--setting apart two thousand young men to put on the armor of God. They were to do battle with the evasive Black Hawk who was arming his men with Civil War surplus Henry, Sharps and Spencer rifles. Lee Nelson spent five years researching and writing The Black Hawk Journey. Riding horseback to the locations described in the story, and digging through dusty journals were part of the preparation in bringing to life a fascinating, but tragic episode in Utah history.

Town pariah, Tye Hatcher has a reputation as a hell-raiser, but he's looking to prove himself and has his own plans for the land. Meg's proposal might be too good to be true, but he's willing to take the risk, even if the risk is his heart. Struggling with guilt and the rejection of the townspeople, Meg must learn that her convenient husband is a man who takes risks and does what's right for the sake of others. Her vulnerable dreams and their hard work will be for naught unless she and Tye reveal their secrets and face what they're both coming to understand--they can't change the past, but the future is in their hands
