The Texan #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains at least two Western stories. The first involves a stranger and a senorita tracking stolen horses hidden in Ghost Town up North Canyon Trail, where they learn from locals that a character named Pancho knows the location. In "Mustang Jack," a protagonist pursues a dangerous gamble across treacherous terrain while whistling death lurks at every turn, and later faces off against deputy sheriffs after his gun chamber runs empty. A third story features a character named Kelly confronting Bold Buckeroo and other gunmen, with references to a lone gunman who helped rob a national bank and a lawman named Tim Collins pursuing the job.
Tim Rollins, secretly the fugitive known as the Bold Buckeroo, uncovers a scheme of rustling and fraud plaguing rancher Ben Morton's land when he discovers a marked deck of cards at an abandoned campfire. To get close to the criminals behind the operation, the Bold Buckeroo infiltrates their gang, but must navigate a dangerous web of deception before the truth about who's really been haunting Morton's ranch can come to light. With marked cards and hidden motives at play, it'll take quick wits and faster guns to expose the real culprit.
Al Jennings was an Oklahoma troublemaker who wore many hats—train robber, politician, informer, real estate broker, and eventually evangelist—but it's his role in the infamous Teapot Dome scandal that defined his legacy. His sensational testimony before the government inquiry about oil lands and a supposed million-dollar scheme tied to President Harding's nomination made headlines, though his claims later proved false and damaged innocent men's reputations. Having recognized the harm his deceptions caused, Jennings reformed his ways and spent his later years as an evangelist, speaking from hard-won experience about the true price of crime.
