Slocum can’t resist the charms of his beautiful captive. Slocum is on the trail to Billings, Montana, with a load of farm equipment when his wagon train is attacked by a Cheyenne war party. Under siege, he kidnaps the chief’s daughter, Snow, and holds her hostage as a ticket to safety. It doesn’t hurt that she’s easy on the eyes and even easier on the soul. But as the Cheyenne princess begins to steal his heart, he finds himself in some real trouble. Because when outlaws along the trail try to take away his prize, Slocum will have to show them that no one takes what belongs to him—not if they want to get away with their lives…

Longarm sees action south of the border… As thunder booms and lightning flashes and wolves nuzzle the bloody, bullet-ridden corpses of Longarm’s fallen foes out in the wet, muddy streets of a Mexican ghost town, the lawman is warm and cozy inside—and happy to be alive, receiving a sweet reward for rescuing a kidnapped señorita. Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long has technically gone rogue—crossing the border into Mexico to recover a stolen Army payroll. He hadn’t planned on encountering hot-blooded hostage Claudia Cordova, but now he’s sure glad he saved her… Until he wakes up after a night of passion tied to the four posts of a bed—his seductive siren long gone, her saddlebags bulging with those “gringo greenbacks”…

The fine points of defrauding an insurance company are amusingly revealed during the court trials.

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 1 described the organization and tactics of the field batteries of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia from the time of the Battle of Bull Run through the Maryland invasion. Volume 2, beginning with an account of the Chancellorsville campaign, includes a close look at the Battle of Gettysburg, in which tactical errors made by the Confederate side are reassessed. There was heroism aplenty, not only from generals like J.E.B. Stuart and Stonewall Jackson but also from ordinary artillerymen who fought doggedly and resignedly until the end.
