A short-story collection featuring the men sworn to serve Ole Devil Hardin, the crippled Texas rancher. The fastest guns and the fiercest fighters in the Southwest, they were known as Ole Devil's Hands and Feet.
Small Man From Polveroso City, Texas features Dusty on an errand for Ole Devil. Two teams of con-artists targets the small Texan but there was one thing shorter than Dusty Fog--the life of any man fool enough to throw down on him!
The Invisible Winchester, Chief Ten Bears comes to sign a peace treaty and nearly gets assassinated. Waco and Doc Leroy must use their respective skills to save Ten Bears and prevent a war in a display of teamwork that will later serve them well as Arizona Rangers (told in the Waco Series).
Responsibility to Kinfolks, Mark Counter once again comes to the aid of his black sheep cousin, Trudeau Front de Boeuf, who has been kidnapped. Red Blaze is along for the ride, thinking that any kin of Marks must be all right. Mark is less enthusiastic.
Part Four: With the absence of The Ysabel Kid, J.T. has provided the lyrics of some of his favorite songs
J. T. Edson was a former British Army dog-handler who wrote more than 130 Western novels, accounting for some 27 million sales in paperback. Edson’s works - produced on a word processor in an Edwardian semi at Melton Mowbray - contain clear, crisp action in the traditions of B-movies and Western television series. What they lack in psychological depth is made up for by at least twelve good fights per volume. Each portrays a vivid, idealized “West That Never Was”, at a pace that rarely slackens.
Genre: Western
