This book contains Zane Grey's classic western novel, "The Last of the Plainsmen". Buffalo Jones embarks on his last mission in this exciting western classic. The character of Buffalo Jones was based on Charles Jesse "Buffalo" Jones, a famous western hunter and guide who inspired Grey to organise a lion-hunting excursion. It was this lion-hunting trip that would form the basis for this exciting fictional tale - full of wild beasts, Indians, and the treacherous travails of a wild landscape unmolested by civilization. The chapters of this book include: "The Arizona Desert", "The Range", "The Last Herd", "The Trail", "Oak Spring", "The White Mustang", "Snake Gulch", "Naza! Naza! Naza!", "The Land of the Musk-Ox", "Success and Failure", "On To the Siwash", "Old Tom", etcetera. Pearl Zane Grey (1872 - 1939) was an American author famous for writing novels that would become the foundation for the Western genre in literature and the arts. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Dying Thunder Terry Johnston Newly freed from service with the 10th Cavalry, Seamus Donegan joins a party of buffalo hunters as they follow the shrinking herds into the ancient hunting grounds of the Kiowa and Comanche. The presence of the white men ignites a storm of Indian fury and the group is besieged. Donegan and some 27 men and one woman take shelter in a few sod shanties. They hold off over 700 braves for five days in the fight at Adobe Walls. From then on, the U.S. Army would not rest until the Indians of the Staked Plain returned to their reservations. Under the command of Colonel Ranald Slidell Mackenzie, Seamus Donegan rides back to that embattled land as the U.S. Army tracks the tribes of Chief Quanan Parker to Palo Duro canyon--for a bloody showdown that would forever change the face of the West.

A BRAND-NEW CLASSIC WESTERN SERIES FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR B.N. RUNDELL. Every time he squeezed the trigger, somebody died. He thought it was just the way of the war, but after taking a couple bullets and being mustered out, it continued. When he stood over the ashes of his family's farm and stared at their graves, the same bile rose in his throat, and he knew somebody was going to have to pay... and pay with their blood. This was to be the beginning of a blood hunt that would take Reuben Grundy across four states, pit him against renegade outlaws posing as the Home Guard for the north, the Bushwhackers of Captain Quantrill and the men in butternut and grey, as well as the mighty Pawnee of the plains. His father had taught young Reuben to never look for others to do what needs to be done, even if it means putting his life on the line. And Reuben would do just that, with his training as one of Berdan's Sharpshooters at the outset of the war between the states, and his own time beside his father in the woods, Reuben was destined to become one of the most feared hunters of the plains. Whether it was for man or beast, when his sights settled on the target, death was sure to follow.
