Their fame spread like wildfire through the West—a band of Texans who rode and fought together like brothers in the name of justice.There was Mark Counter, the soft-spoken young giant whose dandy appearance belied a strength few men could match. Red Blaze, the young hothead, who when the chips were down was as cool and deadly as any other. The Ysabel Kid, part Comanche, part French Creole, and all fighting man. Waco, the orphan boy, completely fearless and bent on proving himself in the eyes of his friends. And finally the small, insignificant-looking man who was their undisputed leader ... Dusty Fog, the Rio Hondo gun-wizard, the fastest draw in Texas.Those who had crossed them and lived to tell the tale were few. One thing was certain—they would never again underestimate a man who rode with the Floating Outfit.

Grattan, Texas is a bad place to get an education—and a worse place to be a teacher. One by one, the school masters and marms were given a choice: Take a permanent recess...or a bullet in the brain. In no time at all, the schoolhouse was empty. But now there's a new instructor in town. He's packing a six-shooter in his primer. He plans to teach a deadly lesson in revenge. And his name is Dusty Fog...

The Brotherhood for Southron Freedom's message had gone out through the ex-Confederate States.Give money to buy arms!Make ready for the day of reckoning with the Yankees!THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!In Texas, the unscrupulous leaders of the Brotherhood had gathered a band of desperate, dangerous men and armed them with repeating rifles. Belle Boyd, the Rebel Spy, now working for the U.S. Secret Service, was on their trail. As she saw evidence of their growing strength and power, she knew that she would need help to defeat them.So she sent a message to her superiors, telling all she had learned and offering a solution to the menace.She said, 'Send me three regiments of Cavalry... or Dusty Fog!'

Captain Dusty Fog and the Ysabel Kid had heard some shaggy tales before, but this one took the prize. Some fancy Easterners were determined to save the noble buffalo from the Indians. To do it they wanted Dusty and his Texans to make a trail drive to a safe range--a trail drive of bison.The only trouble was, Dusty and his comrades hadn't heard the half of it. The Easterners had a secret scheme up their sleeve, and it didn't have anything to do with saving buffalo. Now the Texans were heading off into a storm of dust, trouble, and blood that would begin with an ambush and end up in a town called Hell. And before it was over, the Texans would do the one thing they were sure would fix the situation: pick up their guns and fight!

After their first nine months on the recently opened Comanche range, the ranch-owners banded together to organize a great round-up. John Chisum, the Cattle King, planned to gain control by making sure that one of his men was picked as the roundup captain. But the job went to a passing stranger. Removing him should not have been any great problem to Chisum, for his men were of the killer breed, mean gunmen to the core. However, there was one small detail, a fly in the ointment to Chisum's success. The name of the passing stranger was Dusty Fog.

Somebody had a smart idea to end the Civil War. Flood the Southern States with counterfeit money and destroy their already weakened economy. Unfortunately one of the first consignments of bad money fell into the hands of a man who understood its meaning. General Ole Devil Hardin knew the forging plant must be destroyed; but it was situated in New Orleans, far inside Union-controlled territory. Only an expert could reach the plant; one who knew the South and how to survive in enemy country without being detected. The expert Ole Devil sent was a slim, beautiful woman. Although the Yankees knew her name, they could not place her face. So Belle Boyd went with Dusty Fog on the dangerous mission. That was her job, her way of life. They called her the Rebel Spy.

There was a lot of bad feeling left over from the War between the States, and not only between the North and South. Britain had allowed Confederate navy ships to use her ports, and after that, there wasn't much trust between them. Belle Boyd, the Rebel Spy, now with the U.S. secret service, had discovered an anarchist plot to attack Canada from U.S. soil, and she knew it had to be stopped. She soon found an ally in the Remittance Kid—but the Kid was working for the British...Could Belle really trust him...?

Until the coming of J.T. Edson, action-escapism adventure stories were dominated by male heroes. Heroines were expected to be beautiful and virtuous – but also meek, mild, and dependent upon the hero when danger threatened.J.T. changed all that.His heroines are beautiful and virtuous, but when danger threatens they depend on themselves ... Calamity Jane, Belle 'The Rebel Spy' Boyd, Betty Hardin, Dawn Drummond-Clayton, Woman Deputy Alice Fayde, and Amanda Tweedle, the baby-faced Blonde Genius, all demonstrate that ladies too have their place in action-packed adventure stories.And here they are, all in one volume ...J.T.'s LADIES

Mark Counter, blond giant of Ole Devil Hardin's floating outfit, was famous throughout the West for his strength, his skill as a cowhand, his prowess with the ladies, and an ability second only to Dusty Fog when it came to a lightning-fast draw.But Mark had kin who were almost as famous as he was.Here, in one volume, is the story of Mark Counter's famous kin—James Allenvale Gunn, better known as Bunduki, Chief Game Warden of an African Wildlife Reservation—Brad Counter, Deputy Sheriff in Rockabye County—Sergeant Ranse Smith, member of the elite but little-publicized Company Z of the Texas Rangers—and Jessica and Trudeau Front de Boeuf, two of the most likeable rogues who ever trod the Old West.

The downed cop was a rookie. The shooter was scum, part of a gang planning the biggest bank heist in Gusher City, Texas. The only witness was a fat man too scared to talk. Now, working under legendary sheriff Jack Tragg, Deputy Brad Counter—great-grandson of Mark Counter from Ole Devil Hardin's floating outfit—was as fast with a gun as his ancestor. His partner was Alice Fayde. Her weapons of choice were her looks and her brains. They had a plan for catching these lowlifes ... it involved two pretty call girls, an unwilling civilian, a slimy informant, and a trap that would catch a rat—or cost Alice and Counter their lives.
