B.M. Bower
B.M Bower had a gift for writing Westerns, weaving tales of adventure, intrigue, mystery, and romance often with surprise endings. Her gift for creating engaging, human characters is just as evident in Tiger Eye, a book with a much tougher, more serious plot than some of her early works. The main character, nicknamed Tiger Eye because of his one yellow eye, is a young Texan who has left home to escape being drawn into an old feud. Arriving in Montana, he literally wanders into the middle of a vicious range war between a big cattle outfit and a community of small ranchers and farmers, or nesters. He soon finds himself working for the cattle outfit, but without a very clear idea of whats expected from him.

So he could either die alone... or takes his enemy to the grave with him. Max Brand at his best pure Western adventure! One rancher defends his land against those who want it by any means possible.
Zane Grey
Imagine if Romeo and Juliet were set among the sheep ranching families of Arizona. Add in a heavy dash of frontier action and adventure, and that neatly sums up the plot of Zane Greys To the Last Man, which follows a blossoming romance among members of feuding clans in the vast open plains of the Wild West. To the Last Man is the story of Arizonas Pleasant Valley War, one of the most legendary conflicts of the Old West. Son of a cattleman, Jean Isbel tests family loyalty by falling in love with the daughter of a sheepherder, Ellen Jorth. The rivalry of generations is reawakened and the lovers are caught in the crossfire in a story that takes a chapter from the real family feuds of the early American West. The story was based on an actual feud in Arizona that Zane Grey researched.
Alfred J. Church
Alfred John Church (1829-1912) was an English classical scholar. He was born in London and was educated at Kings College, London and Lincoln College, Oxford. From 1880 until 1888 he was professor of Latin at University College, London. While at University College in partnership with William Jackson Brodribb, he translated Tacitus and edited Plinys Letters. Church also wrote a number of stories in English re-telling of classical tales and legends for young people. He was a 19th century historian best known for his comprehensive histories on different periods of the Roman Empire, including this one. To the Lions is a challenging read. A good over view of history, recommended highly.
Talbot Mundy
Guards, go out! he ordered. Twelve men went out one by one from the house he had left. They seemed to feel more warm than Brown did, because they fell into the sword of Brown. In this nameless sanatorium there was no flag, and no flag was there, so the sword, without her nail, performed duties, pointing down to the ground as the totem pole of the empire. Brown was stuck there, like the Boanerges sandals, and there he stayed from the sunrise to the sunset, so that he would be replaced by whoever dared to do it, at his peril.
Mark Twain
