Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. His Arrows Fly Straight into the Hearts of His Enemies was the Comanche name given him by his father. But the Pale Eyes gave him a new name, Daniel Killstraight, and that was the name by which he was known after his return to the reservation of the Kowas, Comanches, and Apaches. He became a native police officer, called a Metal Shirt by the Indians.When Toyarocho, drunk on contraband whiskey, rolls over onto the body of his four-year-old daughter, smothering her to death, Leviticus Ellenbogen, the new Indian agent, is appalled and wants Killstraight to find out who supplied Toyarocho with the whiskey. If it was a white man, Killstraight cannot make an arrest, but he can collect evidence. There is one clue. The whiskey Toyarocho had drunk was in a ginger beer bottle manufactured by Cox and Coursey Bottling Works of Dallas, Texas.In the course of his investigation, Killstraight finds additional instances of whiskey running among the Indians, all of it in the same kind of bottles. But Killstraight is working against impediments other than not being able to arrest a white man. Teepee That Stands Alone, the dead girl?s grandfather, perhaps knows something, but he will not share it with a Metal Shirt.If Killstraight leaves the reservation in the course of his investigation, he will have no authority at all. And the white men involved undertake to have Killstraight jailed for numerous infractions against territorial and federal laws as an opening strategy. There is an even more certain way of making sure that Killstraight?s investigation is stoppedpermanentlyand that is by killing him.Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction that takes place in the old West.

Condizione: Good. Multiple award-winning author Johnny D. Boggs, one of the most respected and popular writers of Western fiction, brings to life the harsh reality of cattle drives in a powerful, trailblazing adventure inspired by the harrowing true story of the1866 cattle drive from Texas to Montana--and the legendary man who dared the impossible. The Civil War is over. The future of the American West is up for grabs. Any man crazy enough to lead a herd of Texas longhorns to the north stands to make a fortune--and make history. That man would be Nelson Story. A bold entrepreneur and miner, he knows a golden opportunity when he sees one. But it won't be easy. Cowboys and bandits have guns, farmers have sick livestock, and the Army's have their own reasons to stop the drive. Even worse, Story's top hand is an ornery Confederate veteran who used to be his enemy. But all that is nothing compared to the punishing weather, the deadly stampedes--and the bloodthirsty wrath of the Sioux. This is the incredible saga of a man named Story. A true legend of the Old West. And the ever-beating heart of the American Dream.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. WINNER OF THE 2025 SPUR AWARD FOR BEST HISTORICAL WESTERN NOVEL Inspired by the shocking true story of the Gunfight at Hide Park, this blazing Western novel by Spur Award-winner Johnny D. Boggs takes readers back to that fateful summer in 1871-when Newton, Kansas, became "the wickedest town in the west" . . . A decade before the legendary Gunfight at OK Corral, there was a much bloodier showdown with a much bigger body count-and Wichita Herald reporter Cindy Bagwell was there to see it all. At first, the fledgling journalist had no idea why her boss would send her to what hardly even passes for a town. But Texans, including trail boss Gary Hardee and his sons, are bringing longhorns to Kansas. And Newton aims to take over the cattle market. Hardee has his hands full-and that's before he reaches Newton, where Texans and Kansans don't get along. Tensions escalate from fisticuffs to brawling to fatal shootings in short order. But that's just a warm-up. On August 19, 1871, in a gambling room at Tuttle's dance hall in Hide Park, this powder keg of bad blood and bitterness between two rival groups explodes-with one young reporter, a restaurant owner, and Hardee's sons caught in the middle . . . This is the story of the deadliest gunfight in the American West. Of the passionate men and women who fought for a piece of the American Dream. And of the ultimate price they'd have to pay . . .…
