Soldier of fortune Neal Fargo knew Lasher was behind attempts to wreck the MacKenzie logging operation. Lasher wanted the lush timberland known as the Wolf's Head Tract for himself, and smashing MacKenzie was the first step in taking it. Teddy Roosevelt, Fargo's old Rough Riders boss, had an interest in the situation, and wanted Lasher stopped—permanently.But Lasher was as tough as they come, and harder to catch than a greased pig. Still, when Fargo took on a job he saw it through to its violent end ... or died in the trying.]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2000 10:54:27 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/288085-sundance_6.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/288085-sundance_6.html
They were called the Tucson Ring, and they were a group of greedy businessmen who were getting fat on keeping the Indian Wars alive in Arizona Territory. One of their plans was to keep Geronimo on the loose by supplying him with whiskey and ammunition.But General George Crook had a plan to stop them, and Jim Sundance was the most important part of it.His orders – to go to Arizona, find out who was selling whiskey and guns to Geronimo, stop them any way possible ... and bring Geronimo in for good."It was a tall order. But if anyone could bring it off, it was the man they called Sundance.]]> Sun, 19 Nov 1995 21:48:10 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/284828-hell_on_wheels_a_fargo_western_15.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/284828-hell_on_wheels_a_fargo_western_15.html
He was a soldier of fortune, for sale to the highest bidder—he was Fargo.Broke and on foot after his horse breaks a leg and has to be put down, Fargo jumps aboard a train in Idaho. He's almost instantly attacked by a hulk working for the rail line. The Continental-Western allows no riders, even paying ones. Junction Flats is the own buffaloed by the C-W and Hawk Morrison. After Fargo has to take out the local railroad detective, Morrison attempts to hire him. Though broke, Fargo has already taken a dislike to the man and his methods. If this man wants to hire him, then someone else is on another side. He gets caught up in the C-W's attempts to take over a small rail line running silver ore twice a day from a mine. They get a cut of the profits to the tune of $3,000 a day. Music to Fargo's ears.]]> Sat, 19 Nov 2005 19:50:57 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/284826-apache_raiders_a_fargo_western_4.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/284826-apache_raiders_a_fargo_western_4.html
Fargo, Neal Fargo - a true man of action. The Mexicans needed guns and Fargo needed money—so they made a deal. Getting the arms past the cavalry patrols along the border would take some doing, but Neal Fargo thought he could handle it. There might be a problem later with the Mexicans—you never knew which way the sons of senoras were likely to jump—but as always Fargo figured to take it one man, one bullet at a time. The kind of trouble he didn't count on when he took the job turned out to be the worst trouble of all-the Apaches. Geronimo was dead, and the big wars were over, but deep in the mountains the last of the Mescaleros still prowled like rabid wolves.]]> Fri, 19 Nov 2010 19:50:56 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/284817-fargo_13.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/284817-fargo_13.html
The Colorado was the wildest, toughest river in America. Just staying alive on the rapids took a lot of nerve and a lot of luck. And then there were the men who lined it. Teddy Roosevelt called them wolves—old-time gunfighters and desperados who hid out in the surrounding wilderness. They were desperate sonsofbitches who hated the modern world that had exiled them, and they were constantly ready to strike out and kill any passing stranger for his boat, or his gun.Fargo's job was to go down the Colorado with Roosevelt's government explorers. And if anyone could keep them afloat and keep them alive, it was him.]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:50:52 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/299429-valley_of_skulls_fargo_book_6.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/299429-valley_of_skulls_fargo_book_6.html
Fargo was after two things: a priceless cannon and a beautiful woman. But the only way to the Valley of the Skulls was through land so primitive that word of revolution would not have reached it. There was a reward out for him in Guatemala and there were the bandits in Yucatan, and they would have stalked him all the way, if they did not kill him for his guns and outfit first . . .]]> Wed, 20 Nov 1996 10:54:26 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/299431-the_sharpshooters_a_fargo_western_book_9.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/299431-the_sharpshooters_a_fargo_western_book_9.html

One of them had shot a Texas Ranger, and the Rangers had to bring in the killer.The last thing they wanted, though, was to start a feud where the Canfields and the lawmen had to kill each other off. Neal Fargo's arrest for gunrunning gave them a way out. Fargo could go free if he promised to walk into the Canfields' lair and bring out the killer.That way, the Canfields would have no quarrel with the Rangers. And Fargo was tough enough to hold his own against the whole clan!]]> Sun, 20 Nov 1994 10:54:27 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/288092-sundance_15.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/288092-sundance_15.html
Both the Indians and the U.S. Cavalry were being victimized. A lone crazed Cheyenne was on a personal warpath against both sides and neither brigades of bluecoats nor tribes of braves could end his reign of terror. They needed to pit one man against one crazed Indian.That man was Sundance.]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:48:13 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/284819-fargo_12.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/284819-fargo_12.html
Fargo staked an old prospector to five thousand and figured to make a million in gold on the deal. It made him killing mad when a bunch of gun slicks killed the old man, stole the gold and took his daughter along to while away the weary hours on the trail. Fargo liked the girl, but the gold was first in his mind when he saddled up and took after them. Up ahead was some of the worst country in the world, the Mojave Desert, but Fargo figured it was worth the effort. For a million in gold and a pretty girl to help him spend it, he'd ride clear to hell and back.]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:50:53 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/288089-sundance_5.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/288089-sundance_5.html

Having lived a life of adventure, he needs the real thing. So when the actress, Jane Deering, asks him to go to Alaska and find out what happened to her husband, who disappeared there several years earlier while prospecting for gold, Fargo agrees without hesitation.

The Appaloosa horses bred by Chief Joseph's Nez Perce Indians were the finest anywhere. That's why the Army wanted to get its hands on the herd—so it could breed up top-quality remounts and ride the Indians down even easier. To do it, they hired a sadistic horse-trader named Luke Drury.There was just one problem. Jim Sundance had no intention of letting Drury or the Army get their hands on the Appaloosas. Instead he planned to sell them to an English aristocrat and have them taken out of the country.But Drury played rough ... up to and including cold-blooded murder. So now it became a race against time. Hunted every step of the way, Sundance, and the beautiful Lady Bucknell, had to get the horses to the relative safety of Mormon country, and then get them shipped out to England. But they were going to fight on their hands ... one that could only end in wholesale slaughter ...]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2015 21:48:07 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/288090-sundance_13.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/john-benteen/288090-sundance_13.html
Half English, half-Cheyenne Indian, Sundance was a half-breed who took on jobs no one else would handle, a killer who never missed. And he charged plenty for his services. But when his old friend George Crook asked Sundance to step into the most explosive situation of his career, as a personal favor, Sundance agreed. He was the only man alive who could keep the Sioux nation from going on the warpath—and Russia from going to war with America.Sundance was the best ... but just maybe this time out the job was too much even for him!]]> Tue, 19 Nov 1996 21:48:12 +0200
