Våldets land di Wayne D. Overholser

When Dan Nathan came to Oregon it was a raw land, a land hostile to men. He'd seen the abandoned emigrant wagons on the trail, the bleached bones of long-dead oxen and the crumbling shacks of yesterday - evidence of the defeat to which man's hope and labour came. Dan was young in years but he had to do a man's work, he battled in grown-up fights and leaned to do the ugly things that men had to do to stay alive in the savage wilderness they called the frontier.

Law Man di Lee Leighton

Sheriff Bill Worden's daughter is marrying George Ballard, Grant County's banker, cattle baron and town's leading citizen. A gunman named Ed Lake comes to town and almost immediately three farmers are murdered. Suspicion centres on Lake who citizens feel was hired by the cattlemen to scare farmers away. Ballard also comes under suspicion because he is the leader of the cattlemen.
Once Sheriff Worden captures Lake and he is convicted & sentenced to hang, the story picks up tension as Worden is accused by the farmers of planning to let Lake escape because his daughter is marrying Ballard. As the date of the hanging approaches, the farmers and the cattlemen threaten to take action. Will Worden and his deputies stop them? Will Worden and his daughter discover Ballard's true character in time?
Great story with ample tension building to a great climax.… (altro)

Hanging at Pulpit Rock di Lee Leighton

Well done Western. The town of Pulpit Rock is torn between a corrupt sheriff; gamblers and outlaws; and a greedy mine owner.

When a murder/robbery leads to the lynching of an innocent man, the deputy must put backbone into the honest citizens of the town in order to bring peace and justice to Pulpit Rock by fighting all 3 factions.
The deputy must contend with pleas to just walk away from all involved.… (altro)
