Vic: A Dog of the Prairies
by Thomas C. HinkleHe was a big dog--black and powerful-and his name was Vic. Looking back, it's hard to figure whether it was a piece of luck or a promise of just plain trouble that awaited Vic the day he showed up in the wooded gorge near Jim Williams' ranch. Let's say it was a little of both. Trouble, because Williams' black wolfhound, Pete, had turned cattle killer without anyone's knowing it. Luck, because Vic met up with Williams' younger brother, Gene, who loved the great, huge dog on sight. Gene tried his best to lead Vic home. But before he could, the gentle, man-shy dog had fled before a hail of bullets meant for Pete. Shot at, caught in a blinding blizzard, starving, Vic at last found refuge with old Dan Arden. But even Arden's tender care could not make him forget his friend. And so once again the courageous dog escaped his captors. But together, Vic and Gene were to face an even greater danger in the path of a deadly, whirling tornado and its flashflood wake. Vic, a Dog of the Prairies, is yet another absorbing tale of a memorable dog by the master story-teller of the Old West, Thomas C. Hinkle.

Captured by his nemesis Ghost Moon and forced to flee with an Apache band of warriors, Jim is only saved from a slow and torturous death when his old friend Wellington adopts him as his son. But now he's on the wrong side. Will he be branded a traitor? Or killed in a battle with the 10th US Cavalry or the Mexican Army? Jim finds his loyalties now divided, and he begins to understand the plight of his captors. But as supplies and ammunition run out, Jim's fate is tied to that of the doomed Apache warriors and survival seems unlikely.

Voyage to Santa Fe (Kentuckians #6)
by Janice Holt GilesThis voyage to Santa Fe is not only a journey in time and distance, but Judith Fowler's voyage into her own heart and mind. Judith and Johnny have been married less than a year when, in the spring of 1823, they start the long journey across the plains from the Arkansas Territory to Santa Fe--the journey that is to be the test of their marriage. Johnny Fowler (sometimes known as "Johnny Osage" because of his close friendship with the Osage Indians) has staked everything on his ability to guide a mule train over an unmarked trail through cruel and dangerous country. The wagons are loaded with the trade goods that are to make his fortune and driven by men distinguished more for toughness than for tractability. The muleskinners grumble at Johnny's autocratic discipline and resent the presence of his young wife, the only woman in the wagon train. A strange journey for a gentle New England girl, but there is spirit and self-reliance behind Judith's gentleness. Through hardship, danger, and disappointment she must strive to find her way to a true understanding and acceptance of her husband's way of life and to the realization that it is to be her way too.
