Nehi's Code
Edward Vought - 2019

On the Warpath
James Willard Schultz - 2015
Schultz was a noted author, explorer, Glacier National Park guide, fur trader and historian of the Blackfoot Indians. While operating a fur trading post at Carroll, Montana and living amongst the Pikuni tribe during the period 1880-82, he was given the name "Apikuni" by the Pikuni chief, Running Crane. Schultz is most noted for his prolific stories about Blackfoot life and his contributions to the naming of prominent features in Glacier National Park. On the Warpath, by James Willard Schultz, is a unique and odd story of a white man's experiences while living among Indians as one of themselves. It has an extraordinarily intimate effect, as if it might be a translation from some tale written in an Indian dialect. As a story it contains many incidents that will thrill young readers. For older ones it will be valuable as a study of Indian mental and spiritual life. This book originally published by Houghton Mifflin in 1914 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.

The Floating Outfit 24: Trigger Fast (A Floating Outfit Western)
J.T. Edson - 2018
Mallick wanted all the land around Barlock, which meant buying out all the small ranchers. This was no problem, for if the ranchers were at first reluctant to sell, they soon changed their minds when they saw what would happen to them and their families if they refused. Yes, everything was going Mallick’s way. It was, that is, until the day his gunmen arrived at the Lasalle ranch, intending to try out their own brand of persuasion, and found three men waiting for them. The Ysabel Kid was one of the men. Mark Counter was another. The third man was small and insignificant looking . . . His name was Dusty Fog! J.T. Edson was a former British Army dog-handler who wrote more than 130 Western novels, accounting for some 27 million sales in paperback. Edson’s works - produced on a word processor in an Edwardian semi at Melton Mowbray - contain clear, crisp action in the traditions of B-movies and Western television series. What they lack in psychological depth is made up for by at least twelve good fights per volume. Each portrays a vivid, idealized “West That Never Was”, at a pace that rarely slackens.

THE KILKENNY SAGA
Louis L'Amour
The way he originally wrote them before his paperback publishers mandated changes. The first novel, The Rider of Lost Creek, features the mysterious gunfighter, Kilkenny, riding to the aid of a friend whose small ranch caught in the crossfire of a brutal range war. In the second novel, A Man Called Trent, he has changed his name and retired to a small cabin in the wilderness – until killers target his best friend’s children. Acton, romance, and authentic western lore make these two of the strongest western action tales Louis L’Amour ever penned.P5
