Description

Prairie Guns: Homesteaders have taken up land on the plains of Colorado that were formerly free range. Cattle baron Colton Miller and his hired gun riders hate the homesteaders, especially Buff Brady and Luther Hart, two former cowboys who hope to eventually throw their quarter-sections together to form a cattle ranch, but are viewed as traitors by the cattlemen. When the two are framed for rustling, they're arrested and jailed and their buildings are dynamited. What Miller doesn't expect is the ferocity with which the two will fight to hold on to the land that is lawfully theirs. Man from Durango: Bent Ander, known simply as Durango, returns to Texas after several years of living as a fugitive in Mexico. In the small ranching town of Winterset, where the Clancys not only control the largest cattle ranch in the area, but also have the townspeople living in terror of them, Durango finds himself in a confrontation with Nate Clancy. Everyone in town advises Durango to ride out -- except the town council, who want him to replace the town marshal who had been shot in a gunfight with the Clancys. But if he does stay, it will mean a battle with the Clancys, one with the odds in their favor.
