Six-Gun Caballero
by L. Ron Hubbard
Galaxy Press

from Midwest Book Review
"The plunging action of Six-Gun Caballero takes place on the ranch of Michael Patrick Obannon, who finds the one thousand acres he inherited from his father overrun by a band of renegades bent on keeping the land themselves. The plot pits Obannon's raw courage against seemingly unsurmountable odds as he makes a lone stand against the desparadoes. The late L. Ron Hubbard wrote hundreds of novels and short stories in the fields of science fiction, mystery, action/adventure, and westerns. Six-Gun Caballero is a "time lost" classic from 1938. Highly recommended for all western adventure fans."

The Trial of Apache Junction
by Lewis B. Patten
Center Point Large Print Hardcover

"Sheriff Owen Buck has Johnny McGrath in jail, waiting to hang for killing the man who was hired to evict him from his homestead. To make matters worse, he's also accused of raping the judge's wife! Buck is caught between the demands of the cattlemen — who long to see McGrath hanged — and the settlers, who want him to go free. And as Buck tries to keep the peace, Apache Junction seethes with violence simmering beneath the surface, just waiting to erupt into a bloody hell. Sheriff Owen Buck is an honorable man and won't be swayed. He'll do what is right and then pick up the pieces of his town."


Lawman: Massacre Trail
by Lyle Brandt
Berkley

This is the fourth in a traditional Western series starring gambler turned lawman Jack Slade.

"U.S. Deputy Marshal Jack Slade must stop cross-country carnage.

"The homestead killers have been cutting a bloody swath across Oklahoma Territory, leaving behind a trail of corpses, slaughtering whole families on isolated farms and stealing their livestock. Slade follows the trail of bloodshed to the town of Paradise, where he aims to stop the butchers— before Paradise becomes a hell on earth."


Cutthroat Canyon
by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone
Pinnacle Books

Despite being gone for the past several years, William W. Johnstone keeps churning out fun potboiler Westerns. Digging deep into the writer's left over files, J.A. Johnstone (relative or pseudonym?) builds on ideas the elder Johnstone left unfinished. Cutthroat Canyon is the third in the new Sidewinders series.

"Sometimes, it's bad to be good. That's what happens when Scratch Morton and Bo Creel are rewarded with a gold mine for saving a rich man's bacon. The catch: this mine is a magnet for marauding Mexican banditos. Budding capitalists, Scratch and Bo fight back. That's when they discover that the thieves aren't who they thought they were, some really bad guys are on the way, and a beautiful woman might just be the most dangerous bandit of all - the kind that can steal your heart. For Scratch and Bo, this gold mine might make them rich. But it's more likely to get them killed - just as soon as they can figure out who wants them dead..."

A Tennesseean by birth, Bishop died in at the age of 55.


Range Feud
by Ray Hogan
Five Star Western Series Hardcover

"On his way to his friend's ranch, Jess Holloway sees two men spooking a herd of cattle into a stampede, running toward a butte's sudden rim. If they go over the rim, the cattle will be killed. There is no way Jess can know that in trying to stop the stampede, in tangling with the two riders who instigated it, he is going up against men working for his friend, and that such an effort will make him hated at the very ranch he intends to ramrod."
