Winchester Law: Tales of the Old Wild West - Book 9 - Paperback

by Doyle Trent (Author)

Ninth in the Tales of the Old Wild West series by prolific western author Doyle Trent.

In the tradition of the John Wayne classic western films and legendary television series of Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

The Wild West. If the elements, rattlers, coyotes, and Indian's didn't kill you...the person sitting next to you in the saloon just might...just for the hell of it. This series is presented as self-contained standalone story novels that do not have to be read in any particular order. It gives readers an entertaining glimpse into what individuals from all walks of life encountered as they traversed the untamed western landscape seeking fortune, glory, a new start, or keeping one step ahead of the law behind them.

FRONTIER JUSTICE

Bill Williams wasn't looking for trouble when he trail-herded 150 head of cattle to the eastern plains of Colorado Territory from Texas. All he wanted was to graze his beeves on the free range. But nothing came free in that part of the country. A conglomerate of Eastern investors owned a half-million acres of the range land, or so they said, and they'd funded a bunch of sidewinders to back their claim.

First they tried to backshoot Bill in a saloon brawl. But when they tried to get the law to brand him as a horse thief they went too damned far. Armed with a keg of blasting powder and his .44 Winchester repeater, Bill figured it was time to make his own law. And enforce it!
