HIGH LONESOME

Considine finally made his big strike, hit the Obaro bank with his outlaws and had a clear run to the border. Then they cut the trail of a beautiful girl, a girl with Apaches closing in on her. Suddenly, the border was forgotten. Their chances were slim but Considine and his men thundered to the girl's rescue and together they mounted one magnificent stand atop High Lonesome.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
