Tales of the last frontier : one family's western odyssey
\"Will Castleberry, guide, gambler and gunman, is an unconscious participant in the most incredible gunfight in the old west, just one tale in this last volume of the Five Trails West Series. In it, Zenas and his pals cross the Tularosa Basin in search of gold and adventure only to find the water holes fouled by avenging Indians. He participates in the Red River War and the rescue of the German girls. Zenas and Van Hunsucker encounter a most unusual breed of cattle. Death stalks them as they cross the Jornada Del Muerto. All that action and we haven't mentioned an Indian raid on a cattle drive, a wreck at the roundup, the preacher's Theory of Devolution, and a Curandero's unusual cure for his patients.\"-- Provided by publisher.

If these walls could talk
\"Can the walls of an abandoned house absolve a man accused of a thirty-year-old murder? Not before Silent Cooper and Dempsy Nealy battle Apache thieves, Pancho's Villistas, marauding outlaws, and El Tigre of the Playas Valley. The loss of a letter beneath the ruins of a famous Arizona ranch house thirty years ago led to an untimely marriage for Dempsy's Aunt Cindy, who now runs three ranches with an iron will and a shotgun loaded with buckshot. No man stands in her way--for long. Dempsy dreams of a ghostly visitor in the desert, or was it a dream? The rock house of the Smuggler Hills seems to be an impregnable fortress until a small creature descends the chimney. A cemetery reveals a scandalous secret\"-- Provided by publisher.
