Gunsights

Brendan Early and Dana Moon have tracked renegade Apaches together and gunned down scalp hunters to become Arizona legends.

But now they face each other from opposite sides of what newspapers are calling The Rincon Mountain War. Down in the southwest boomtown of Sweetmary, the LaSalle Mining Company brings in hired gun Phil Sundeen to blast every homesteader out of the canyon.

Brendan and a gang of mining company gun thugs are dead set on running Dana and "the People of the Mountain" from their land. Up in the high timber, Dana gathers a fierce band of Mimbre Apache scouts, Mexican ranchers, and Tenth Cavalry veterans under Bo Catlett.

The characters are unforgettable, the plot packed with action and gunfights from beginning to end.
