Joe Kettle possessed the grit and fighting blood of his father, and his father before him. And he needed it, for Wilshaw Broome - once a loyal foreman of the Standing K ranch - was using hired gunmen in his effort to seize the Kettle domain. Supported by an ageing Hector Chaf and Ben McGovren, Joe sets out to win back his birthright. But each of the three men had his own special reason for going up against overwhelming opposition, and it wasn't all to do with property and livestock. To overcome Broome's force, they would play a waiting game, take advantage of the hidden trails and scrub thickets along the Rio Bonito. Then, when the time was right, they would not hesitate to meet force with force and guns with guns.

"Ecosystem management" is a term used frequently in land managing agencies today. It signals a shift in focus from management resources separately on the landscape, to managing resources holistically as interconnected parts of environmental systems. The notion that components of an environment function together and affect one another is not new, but the manner in which it is being emphasized by the Bureau of Land Management is changing the way our resource management professionals approach their work and interact with each other.

"With Lincoln County teetering on the edge of lawless turmoil, small rancher Wes Bracken avoids taking sides, but his goal is complicated by his devotion to what he sees as justice and by his friendship with William H. Bonney, who's developing a reputation as Billy the Kid. As Lincoln County devolves into explosive violence, Bracken must skirt the edge of the law to guarantee the survival of his family, his spread, and his dream. But dangers abound from both factions for a man refusing to take sides. Before the Lincoln County War culminates on the banks of the Rio Bonito during a five-day shootout in Lincoln, Bracken is accused of being both a vigilante, a rustler and a murderer. As the law stands idly by, Bracken's ranch is torched, and his wife is assaulted by the notorious outlaw Jesse Evans. Survival trumps vengeance, though, as Bracken tries to outlast the dueling factions aimed at destroying him. At every turn Bracken must counter the devious ploys of both factions and fight against lawmen and a court system skewed to protect the powerful and politically connected. Against overwhelming odds, Bracken challenges the wicked forces arrayed against him in hopes of a better life for himself, for his family, and for New Mexico Territory. And throughout it all, Bracken stands in the growing shadow of his sometime pal, Billy the Kid"-"--

Wes Bracken is a man caught in the crossfire of a bloody war. In Rio Bonito, the second book in Preston Lewis's award-winning Three Rivers Trilogy, he faces enemies on both sides of the law in the wild New Mexico Territory. He refuses to join either of the feuding factions that are tearing Lincoln County apart, but that only makes him a target for both. Bracken tries to do what's right, but he is branded a vigilante, a rustler, and a killer by those who want him dead. He must fight to protect his family and friends from the outlaws who roam the land, leaving death and destruction in their wake. Justice is not only blind in Lincoln County; it's buried under a pile of corpses. As he struggles to survive, Bracken also has to deal with his friendship with Billy the Kid, the notorious outlaw who casts a long shadow over his life. Will Bracken be able to stay true to himself and his principles in this violent and lawless land? He refused to take sides. Now he has to fight them all.
