Edge: Blood Run
by George G. GilmanFROM THE BACK COVER: Edge hits a town which is an earthly Paradise, but with its own peculiar form of punishment. There can never be good without evil far away, as Edge discovers when he is sentenced to death by being flung from a precipice. Hedges is beginning to enjoy a life on the ocean wave. Fighting as a sailor against ships is fun compared to the rigours of the civil war on land. But war of any type is no paradise for the fighters, nor for those who get in the way, however close to God they may be. But it turns out that, although Edge misses the reward, in the end everything goes with a bang.
Edge: Vengeance is Black
by George G. GilmanPast and Present are mixed. For Captain Hedges the past means the savage, brother-kill-brother world of the Civil War. It means the classic storming of the Missionary Ridge and a new command, a fighting unit comprised entirely of liberated slaves. And there's a prisoner from the notorious Quantrill's Raiders. He escapes from Hedges and goes free, ready in later years to meet "the dirty little coward" who is to lay him in his grave. In the present there's pain and killing for Edge. An outlaw who claims he's the greatest. A writer who learns the true meaning of death. And, for the first time, a woman.
My Brother John
by Herbert PurdumAs brothers go I suppose John was a pretty good one, and I suppose I couldn't really blame him for becoming a preacher. If he'd only have settled down somewhere everything would have been fine. But not him! He had to be a circuit rider. And not just anyplace! He had to pick out the wildest, toughest part of the whole blamed frontier, where the law came in calibers and God was nothing but a word used to cuss with. Most folks would figure it was tough enough trying to stay alive on the frontier, what with red Injuns and wild critters and just plain badmen running around loose and looking for trouble, without deliberately taking on a killer outfit like Saber. Leastways I've only known one man who was reasonably sane that had that kind of nerve--only he called it faith: MY BROTHER JOHN.

By the End, there are no dreams left.
Edge: Bloody Summer

The Trail of Danger
by William MacLeod RaineYoung Dennis Gifford, runaway sailor from the Mary Bligh, pounded up the dimly lighted streets of Monterey, the shouts of pursuit loud in his ears. He leaped a wall into a Spanish garden. Dennis did not know that this temporary refuge was actually a seething cauldron of hate and death. Those were the days when "Californian" meant a Spaniard or Mexican who lived there. Americans had already conquered the country, but some natives still hoped to drive them out. Bandits--like Juan Castro--recruited their companies by this patriotic appeal. Old Ramon Martinez, in whose house Dennis had found refuge, was a gentleman and opposed violence. He accepted American rule. His sons and daughters, particularly lovely, dark-haired Rosita, liked young Gifford. Juan Castro swore to kill Dennis to get Rosita for himself. Ramon Martinez was being impoverished by shrewd American financiers who held mortgages on his ranches and hired bandits to steal his cattle. Plunged into the fight on Martinez's side, Dennis defeated an attack by Castro on a gold convoy, killed one of the bandit's men and wounded another. From Monterey to rough, bustling San Francisco he rode a trail of danger that meant life or death at every fork--and there were many forks. The trail almost ended when--a captive--he found himself watching a marriage ceremony--that of Rosita and Juan Castro!
The Golden Stallion
by Theodore J. WaldeckThe clear, cold air of the mountain heights, the sense of space and freedom that is to be found in the peaks of the Sierras and their valleys, the thundering beauty and intelligence of wild horses--all this, and more, is to be found in The Golden Stallion, the first book with a North American background to be written by Theodore Waldeck, famous explorer and author of African and South American jungle stories. Young Bob, brought up by his rancher father to know and love horses, lives for the day when he can have one of his very own. Golden Blaze is the name he gives the beautiful wild horse which is captured for him, and their adventures together, with a surprise ending, form this thrilling story of life in the American West, a story which adds to Mr. Waldeck’s firmly established reputation for taking his readers on stimulating adventures.
