In wide-open Arizona, outlaws run rampant, since the authority of the local marshal ends at his town's borders. A different breed of peace officer is needed, and rancher Bentram Mosehan has accepted the responsibility of organizing a new Arizona State Police force. He's looking for men who are brave, honest, and lightning fast with a six-gun — talents that a drifter named Waco and his amigo, Doc Leroy,
Things were bad in Arizona when the Rangers were formed. Killers, hold-up gangs and rustlers were overrunning the state and getting away with it ... and all because there were no real lawmen to bring them to justice.

Two Texans seemed to fit the bill perfectly. One of them
It was the Parrot 30-Pounder rifled cannon. Eleven feet long, it weighted more than four tons and could throw a devastating shell more than two miles. It was a piece of pure Yankee hell...

On March 27, 1836, General José Urrea ordered the cold-blooded killing of almost four hundred Texian prisoners of war. When news of the massacre reached General Samuel Houston, commander of the newly formed Army of the Republic of Texas, he was placed on the horns of a dilemma. For political reasons, he couldn't permit any official reprisals to be taken against Urrea, but he knew that something had to be done to stop the madman from striking again
...The sudden drumming of hooves mingling with the crackle of revolvers' shots, accompanied by a ringing shout of 'Yeeah! Texas Light!' Following them, smoke and flames might rise from a Quartermasters' Corps depot; a supply train would be found, its wagons wrecked, their loads carried off and teams driven away; a cursing Artillery officer could find the guns in his battery spiked and his magazine exploded.
That was how the men who rode under
She came out of the Louisiana bayou, a hard-riding young beauty who had seen her parents killed in cold blood by agents from the North. Driven by her desire for revenge, Belle joined the Great Cause. That took her into the heart of a nation cleaved in two, and closer to her parents' killers. Joining the Secret Service of the Confederacy, she pitted her courage, wits and fighting skills against the Union's best agents. But while she spawned a legend
...At fifteen he joined the Confederate Army. By eighteen he had become a legend. His name was Dusty Fog: a man with a magic hand that could draw, shoot and hit his mark in less than a second. Dusty killed quick. His opponents died slow...slow getting their six-shooter clear of leather. In the wild, lawless west he was riding hell-bent for justice...to save a man from hanging, to catch a pair of killers, and to pay a bushwhacker with bullets from
...The Texans' defeat at the Alamo had embittered their bloody rebellion with the gall of revenge. But Major General Sam Houston was determined to meet Santa Anna's superior forces on his own terms. While the Mexican Army—fifteen hundred strong—camped on the banks of the San Jacinto, it fell to three men of the Texas Light Cavalry to even the odds. At their lead was the "Ole Devil" himself, Jackson Baines Hardin. If anybody could
...Who had taught Spit Merton to carry out a mighty slick, well-planned robbery?
Why did Merton and his gang take only fifty thousand dollars from the Rocksprings' bank when they could easily have emptied the safe?
What did the dying owlhoot mean when he said that his companions were 'Going to church, two miles to the border?'
Figuring that the answers might show sufficient profit to help keep them in a manner to which they had always
Grattan, Texas is a bad place to get an education—and a worse place to be a teacher. One by one, the school masters and marms were given a choice: Take a permanent recess...or a bullet in the brain. In no time at all, the schoolhouse was empty. But now there's a new instructor in town. He's packing a six-shooter in his primer. He plans to teach a deadly lesson in revenge. And his name is Dusty Fog...
The task had seemed simple enough to the Ysabel Kid. All he had to do was ride into Mexico, find the man who had killed James Bowie at the Alamo and ask him to return Bowie's legendary knife to its rightful owners. Nothing simpler ... or so the Kid thought ...
But before the job was through he had locked horns with some mighty bad hombres. Men like Manos Grande, the fearsome Yaqui war chief; Silk, a dude but also a lightning fast killer; Juan
Arizona Territory: loaded with silver, gold, and copper—and running with blood. Now some hard-riding Texans are making a stand, backed up by the smoking guns of a bantam-fighter-turned-sheriff named Fog, the fists of a blond giant named Counter, and the honed steel of a silent killer, the Ysabel Kid. But the forces of greed aren't going to let go of Spanish Grant County without a final fight, and an army of hired gunslingers has been sent

When the gunplay started the five Texans were in there, fighting to a man. And when the gunsmoke cleared, they were the ones still on their feet, If you were lucky enough to be their friend you were a friend for life.
