When these boys invite Longarm to step outside, they have no idea what they’re in for… Folks in Sioux Siding don’t take kindly to strangers. Especially one who arrives with a hand on his holster and a chip on his shoulder. But this Pitcairn’s no stranger to someone in town—and before he can take in the sights, he’s taken a fatal bullet to the back… Seems Pitcairn was a bounty hunter, making this a federal case. So the feds send in lawman Custis Long. Apart from two very welcoming young widows, the locals resent Longarm—they prefer doing things their own way, legal or otherwise. Among the hostile locals is the prettiest ranchera Longarm’s ever seen. But he won’t be swayed by her charms—and won’t leave this hellhole town until the devil gets his due…

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.

The law sends Longarm to a town that doesn't take kindly to strangers, to investigate the death of a bounty hunter. But even with the cold shoulders, Longarm won't leave until the devil gets his due. Original.
