The Shawnee Trail

Производитель: "Macmillan Publishers"

Long John Coons, the Cajun son of a conjuring woman, was driving 2000 head of cattle north from Texas to the railroad in Kansas - through Indian Territory and outlaw strongholds. At his side was a beautiful woman with a sordid past, three ex-cattle rustlers, some renegade Indians, Mexican vanqueros and a straight-laced young trail boss. And while Long John tried to keep his hot-headed crew from killing each other before they reached the end of the line, the biggest danger was waiting up ahead - where an all-out war in Kansas would make the Texans fight together, or die at the same time.

Ralph Compton

Ralph Compton (April 11, 1934—September 16, 1998) was an American writer of western fiction.

A native of St. Clair County, Alabama, Compton began his writing career with a notable work, "The Goodnight Trail", which was chosen as a finalist for the Western Writers of America "Medicine Pipe Bearer Award" bestowed upon the "Best Debut Novel". He was also the author of the "Sundown Rider" series and the "Border Empire" series. In the last decade of his life, he authored more than two dozen novels, some of which made it onto the "USA Today" bestseller list for fiction.

Ralph Compton died in Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 64. Since his passing, Signet Books has continued the author's legacy, releasing new novels, written by authors such as Joseph A. West and David Robbins, under Compton's byline.
