Stagecoach thieves are planning a twelve-gauge surprise… When hooded stagecoach robbers accidentally steal a strongbox containing U.S. mail along with their loot, they make the mistake of committing a federal crime—and tangling with U.S. Deputy Marshal Custis Long. The robbers have a clear M.O.—always working as a pair, they hide their faces and do their talking only with their shotguns. With little to go on in terms of the thieves’ identity, Longarm follows a trail of clues to a Deadwood bordello, where he learns that a little pillow talk might just get a man killed…

Slocum’s gathering no moss… Out in the remote Wasatch Mountains, there isn’t much in the way of employment. Luckily, Slocum has a job at the sawmill that will do just fine. But when the owner of the mill tells him he wants a man to hunt down the crook who stole his wife’s jewelry, Slocum finds himself switching jobs—for a promised huge payoff. Chasing down the jewel thief seems like a simple tracking job. That’s before Slocum winds up in unmapped territory on the trail of a criminal mastermind. Heading into terrible danger, Slocum will have to decide if getting back the most valuable stone is worth putting his own life on the line…

Originally published in 1915, when Jennings Cropper Wise was commandant of the Virginia Military Institute, The Long Arm of Lee has never been surpassed as an authoritative study of the Confederate artillery in the Civil War. Volume I describes the organization and tactics of the field batteries of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and their performance in famous battles, including those at Bull Run, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. It ends with the bitter winter interlude before the Chancellorsville campaign of the spring of 1863. Volume 2 of Wise's history, also available as a Bison Book, takes up the harrowing events stretching from Chancellorsville to Appomattox. In his introduction, Gary W. Gallagher addresses some of the myths exposed by Wise, touching on the persistent under-estimation of the artillery's role in winning battles.

Computers and the Law provides readers with an introduction to the legal issues associated with computing – particularly in the massively networked context of the Internet. Assuming no previous knowledge of the law or any special knowledge of programming or computer science, this textbook offers undergraduates of all disciplines and professionals in the computing industry an understanding of basic legal principles and an awareness of the peculiarities associated with legal issues in cyberspace. This is not a law school casebook, but rather a variety of carefully chosen, relevant cases presented in redacted form. The full cases are available on an ancillary Web site. The pervasiveness of computing in modern society has generated numerous legal ambiguities. This book introduces readers to the fundamental workings of the law in physical space and suggests the opportunity to create new types of laws with nontraditional goals.
