A boy who sees his Pa die like an animal becomes a man who kills like one. His father's "crime" was building a home in a green Oregon valley. His father's killers were ranchers who believed their greed and guns gave them a lease on every man's land -- and every man's life. Cassidy grew up waiting for his chance.

Cassidy

Thorndike Press

He was a hard-muscled, long-boned man with a face burned to bronze by sun and wind. His buckskin shirt was darkened by dirt and age; his black hat had two bullet holes in it. There was a knife strapped to his left side, a .45 Colt on his right side, and a Winchester rifle on his saddle. Rafe Dolan was a legend. Maybe too much of a legend.

Buckskin Man

The Outlaws

Gunsmoke

Two stories by American Western writer Wayne D. Overholser. Black Mike Sam Cassidy comes home to find himself in a series of tense confrontations. His father expects Sam to work for him at the local bank, and Sheriff Ben Faraday, for whom Sam worked the previous summer as deputy, is suffering from a terminal disease and wants Sam to become a deputy again. ''Black Mike'' Nickels wants to expand his use of public land and bring in more sheep, backed by guns. The Cattlemen's Association has vowed to stop Black Mike, but Sam's decision to become a deputy could make enemies of them both. Gun in His Hand Dane Coe is returning to Ogallala in Nebraska Territory at his father's request. He is met at the train depot by Ed Lanning, ramrod for Sam Drew's ranch, and Frank Ashton, a young gunfighter. Sam Drew will do whatever it takes to get the railroad to end its track on his own land rather than the land owned by Dane's father.

Blackstone Publishing, Inc.

In the title story, Murdo Morgan left Paradise Valley sixteen years ago, after his brothers had been killed at the hand of the Turkey Track outfit. One year later, his father died a broken and defeated man. Broad Clancy, owner of the Turkey Track, has remained the controlling force in this area of high desert in Oregon, considering all the land to be open range, including the six-mile strip on both sides of the old wagon road which belongs to Cascade and Paradise Land Company. He fears that Morgan will return to exact his revenge for the death of his brothers. But Morgan is not driven by revenge but by a desire to carry out the dream of his father--to settle a thousand farming families in Paradise Valley. To that end, as the owner of the Cascade and Paradise Land Company, Morgan arrives with a plan for the sale of the land already under way and he is willing to risk his life and every cent of money he has to do it, despite the backlash he will receive from the Clancy dynasty.
In ""The Fence,"" an Oregon sheriff must race against time to capture the men responsible for brutally murdering the father and grandfather of his former fiancée--before she becomes the next victim.
