When Longarm loses his gun, he loses his temper… A simple prisoner transport—it should have been easy. Charlie Cade was a nonviolent mail thief, a pussycat. So maybe Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long’s guard was down—until a lovely lady passenger poked a gun in his ribs and her partner pulled over their stagecoach. The couple took his prisoner, and they took his Peacemaker. Longarm doesn’t like that. On the trail of his escapee, Longarm soon discovers Cade’s bloody corpse. This wasn’t a breakout—it was an execution. Cade knew something that got him killed. Well dang it, nobody kills Longarm’s prisoners—except Longarm. And this is one federal marshal who’s going to get his gun back—even if he has to pry it out of some cold, dead hands…

Slocum hears the sound of music… Ten miles outside of Big Timber, Montana, bandits and Crow Indians ambush a civilian wagon train. It’s Slocum who stumbles upon two of the only survivors: Jasmine and Lydia Lorraine, a mother and daughter act on a tour of the West—and on the run from a jealous ex-husband. If he’s behind the brutal attack, as Slocum suspects, they’re not out of the woods yet. After all, when songbirds this beautiful turn up, trouble’s never far behind…

Double-barreled action—the first two Longarms in one volume! LONGARM Longarm has a new mission. Ride to Crooked Lance. Pick up Cotton Younger, killer cousin of Jesse James, from the town jail. Bring him to trial. It should be easy. Except for one thing: Deputy Kincaid has already tried it. And Deputy Kincaid is nowhere to be found. Nobody at Crooked Lance wants Longarm to do his job—not the beautiful widow woman, or the Federal Agent, or the James gang—but Longarm never gives up when he has work to do. Even if it kills him… LONGARM ON THE BORDER The Mexicans claim it’s a Texas town. The Texans say it’s Mex. Los Perros. A tough, old cow-camp of border-jumpers and price-tagged rustlers—with a “hanging” sheriff of flexible sympathies. The Feds want it cleaned up, the cattle thieves flushed out, the vanished lawmen found. Only one man can do it…

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 I describes the organization and tactics of the field batteries of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and their performance in famous battles, including those at Bull Run, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain, Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. It ends with the bitter winter interlude before the Chancellorsville campaign of the spring of 1863. Volume 2 of Wise's history, also available as a Bison Book, takes up the harrowing events stretching from Chancellorsville to Appomattox. In his introduction, Gary W. Gallagher addresses some of the myths exposed by Wise, touching on the persistent under-estimation of the artillery's role in winning battles.

Five essays detail the artillery used by both Union and Confederate forces in the Battle of Antietam, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, in September 1862. The core essay was written in 1940 for the National Park Service but first published here. Together they discuss the types and capabilities of the artillery pieces, the problems faced by the commanders, and what can be conjectured about their placement and engagement. Also includes six reports by Union officers just after the battle. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
