In this collection, Volume Three of our W.C. Tuttle series, we've included three novellas from the tattered pages of Adventure and Short Stories. The book kicks off with "The Devil's Dooryard," featuring probably his most famous character, Hashknife Hartley. Hartley was a crime-solving cowboy that combined westerns and detective stories in dozens of stories from the 1920s to the 1950s.You'll also find "Flames of the Storm," a tale of Skeeter Bill Sarg, another of Tuttle's recurring Western characters. Skeeter Bill finds himself in a mess of trouble when he tries to help out a couple of sheepherders in a dispute with the local cattlemen.Finally, the collection wraps up with "Fires of Fate," a "Northwestern" story featuring the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, the famous "Mounties" of Canada, with Bud Conley out to clear his good name.

During the Civil War, they sought justice outside of the law, paying back every Yankee raid with one of their own. No man could stop them. No woman could resist them. And no Yankee stood a chance when Win and Joe Coulter rode into town. Win and Joe don’t like getting shot at, especially by varmints who don’t have skill enough to kill them. Then, after fending off an unsolicited attack, they find themselves a genuine lady in distress—bound, gagged, the works. Her name’s Pamela Wellington, and her daddy owns Camelot, a bright, singing sixty-thousand-acre kingdom in the middle of Texas. But like that golden ranch of yore, there’s a foul-smelling evil afoot. And it’s not Joe Coulter’s boots. Someone’s about to mess with the Bushwhackers. And that means someone’s about to be messed with back

"I wanted to be a cowpuncher," said 11-year-old Alonzo Allen in 1871. And just like that, he was on his way to a life of working cattle and riding the high plains of early-day Eastern Colorado.In 1863, at age 3, Alonzo Harris Allen had traveled by foot and ox cart from Wisconsin to Colorado with his mother and siblings. By the time he was 10, he was an accomplished horseman, chasing cattle, fighting Indians, and being a cow-puncher. In this book, his stories tell of the thrills, wonders, challenges, and--yes--even fun of those years in the wilds of Colorado.

Lured to San Saba, Texas, by the promise of easy money, Win and Joe Coulter join forces with a fiery redhead in a plan to rob her lover, the richest man in the county, a mission that presents the Coulters with an opportunity to settle an old score.

An action-packed series from the creators of Longarm, featuring the rousing adventures of the most brutal gang of cutthroats ever assembled—Quantrill’s Raiders. When Kansas Charley Beckett massacres a Bushwhacker's family on the Fourth of July, the only red, white, and blue Win and Joe want to see are the red of his blood, the white of his eyes, and the blue of his body as it hangs from the gallows.
