Overview

Fourteenth in the Tales of the Old Wild West series by prolific western author Doyle Trent. In the tradition of the John Wayne classic westerns and legendary television series Gunsmoke and Bonanza. The Wild West. If the elements, rattlers, coyotes, and Indian's didn't kill you...the person sitting next to you in the saloon just might...just for the hell of it. This series is presented as self-contained standalone story novels that do not have to be read in any particular order. It gives readers an entertaining glimpse into what individuals from all walks of life encountered as they traversed the untamed western landscape seeking fortune, glory, a new start, or keeping one step ahead of the law behind them. GUNPOWDER TRAIL The Dodge City marshal was getting paid to uphold law and order-and maybe die for it, too. One of the laws he was upholding was to keep Dodge from turning into a brawling scrub-grass cowtown like Abilene and Wichita. Which was why he aimed to lock up every Texas wrangler who hit town-and he was backed by a bunch of local gunhands who could shoot the spots off a ladybug. Young Will Porter wasn't one to go looking for trouble, but if it came his way he could handle it. So he got his uncle's herd of Texas longhorns movin' across the bleak land under a dust-hazed sky toward Dodge, figuring they had a right to do business there as much as any man-even if his business was cattle. He knew the marshal and men who backed him were prideful of their killin' skills, but Will and the trailhands weren't strangers to Mr. Colt's .44 either. And if Will couldn't talk the marshal into seeing things his way, he knew there was always the voice of the gun to make a man listen!
