.45-Caliber Desperado by Peter Brandvold Pdf

Cuno Massey ends up on the wrong side of the law in this .45-Caliber western from Peter Brandvold... Cuno Massey killed those deputy U.S. marshals all right, but only because they were about to rape the women he was escorting to safety. Thrown into a federal penitentiary, he faces a death sentence—until the beautiful Camilla and her cutthroat gang bust him out and head for the Mexican border. Pursued by lawmen as brutal as the desperadoes he travels with, Cuno rides a bloody trail, unsure where his allegiances lie, and wondering if he was better off waiting for the gallows…

Most Wanted in Brunswick County: The Saga of the Desperado Jesse C. Walker by Mark W. Koenig Pdf

"A roving, shiftless fellow..." That's how the newspapers described Jesse C. Walker, who in 1908 was served with an arrest warrant by Brunswick County sheriff Jackson Stanland, with tragic results.

Koenig relates the untold saga of a man who rocketed to notoriety in the first years of the twentieth century and found atonement decades later.

"Cuno Massey has been holing up in the New Mexico town of Nopal, trying to give up his gunslinging ways and return to freighting.
