Most folks would call Kim Sartain an easygoing, peace-loving man. But the few who crossed the young drifter knew there was nothing he liked better than a good fight. When cattleman Jim Targ challenges Sartain's right to ride across an unclaimed stretch of meadow, Sartain decides he'll do better than ride through: He'll put down stakes there and homestead the land. So there's more at risk than land and pride when Targ hires a gunman to teach Sartain a permanent - and deadly - lesson

Story
Rock Bannon is a man bred to the Colt and the rugged law of frontier survival. But to a group of naive homesteaders, his reputation as a gunfighter marks him as an outcast among decent folk. So when a smooth-talking scoundrel comes to camp, no one is ready to listen to Bannon's warning. He alone knows that Mort Harper's route leads to certain massacre. Now it is up to Bannon to protect the greenhorn settlers - especially the beautiful Sharon Crockett - and convince them of the truth about Harper before it is too late. For even if the wagon train survives the hostile Indians and desert ahead, it is bound for Bishop's Valley and a vicious land war.

Rustle Up A Good Time

Enjoyable Old Western with curious geology
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The first story is rather short about a man wrongly accused of killing the driver and the shotgun assistant on a stagecoach. The hombre is certainly not devoid of bad deeds and is an easy target for the crime. What really unravels this mystery is a shotgun count. A fun listen.
The second story which carries the title of the novel is an fashioned western drama with bad guys and good guys struggling over land grabbing, cattle rustling, and confrontation in the old west style. This is pure escapism with no hidden agendas.
Both Grover Gardner and Jim Gough did excellent jobs of bringing the pages to life. If you are a western fan and just want to be entertained, this is your answer. Also, if you are a premium member, then this is part of the Plus Catalogue. Enjoy.

The Sixth Shotgun
Leo Carver was an outlaw but an outlaw with some moral values in check. Sure, he admitted he stuck up the stage but he would never have shot Mitch Williams or Doc Spender for that matter. There was to be a hanging in Canyon Gap! And there was one.
Truth is a luxury the old can afford!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This volume also includes a nice little mystery called The Sixth Shotgun. Again, a nice little crime drama in which our hero is about to be hung for a murder someone else did. Fortunately, people start asking about where he got the shotgun that committed the crime and what happened to it afterwards. It’s a good introduction to Louis L’Amour.
