This book takes place in the late 1880’s with half of the book covering bounty hunting by three men who travel from capers by railroad travel. There is plenty of shooting and western adventure. As is common, the hero makes contact with an old classmate and falls in love. The last portion of the book covers the commercial raising of hogs for pork meat with the advent of refrigeration and the tin can. The entrepreneurship is well explained—as life was a century ago.

Sam Balinger was raised on a Texas cattle ranch, but his love of ‘mechanical things’ drove him to work in a gun shop that specialized in fabricating small gun parts. After moving on, he worked as a railroad detective and amassed a small fortune from collecting bounties on the outlaws he brought to justice. Falling in love with a friend from high school, the couple trained for eight months in a Texas applied science college. Returning to Dallas, the Duo bought a metal machine shop, and converted it to a brass cartridge fabrication plant and an ammo loading center. There is plenty of gunfights, jungle warfare, romance, and American ingenuity. The message is “friends can become lovers and build a future.”

Jake Sullivan is a war hero, a private eye-and an ex-con. He's free because he has a magical talent, being able to alter the force of gravity in himself and objects in his vicinity, and the Bureau of Investigation calls on him when they need his help in apprehending criminals with their own magical talents. But the last operation he was sent along to help with went completely wrong, and Delilah Jones, the woman the G-men were after, who just happened to be an old friend of Jake's in happier times, had a lot of magical muscle with her, too much muscle for the cops to handle, even with Jake's help. It got worse. Jake found out that the Feds had lied to him about Delilah being a murderer as well as a bank robber, and they had lied about this being his last job for them-he was too valuable for them to let him go. And things were even worse than Jake imagined. There was a secret war being waged by opposing forces of magic-users, and Jake had no idea that he had just attracted the attention of one side, whose ruthless leaders were of the opinion that Jake was far too dangerous to be permitted to live...

On the southern rim of the Great Basin, north and east of a sun-baked ninety-mile desert coils lush Mountain Meadows. It is a serpentine pass located in what will become Washington County, Utah's extreme southwestern corner, beginning about eight miles south of the tiny community of Pinto. The Meadows, five miles in length and generally one mile wide, dramatically narrows near its southwest terminus. At its midpoint a gentle divide rises and falls between the Basin and the Pacific Slope. Life-giving fountains gurgle on opposite ends of the valley. The large western spring supports a coverlet of coarse mountain grass on the southern surface of the pass's thin ankle. An eight-foot bank rises from the spring, a monument to its ageless trickle. Below the bank stretches 300 yards of level ground, ideal for encampment. On this spot, 140 men, women, and children, oxen and mules for forty wagons and six carriages, 900 head of thirsty cattle, and 250 horses stopped to quench their thirst and to seek temporary refuse from the interminable heat and dust of a four-month journey. Avenging angels lurked in the canebrakes nearby. ( Vengence is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

“The flame of democracy sometimes flickers under misguided leadership, but it will remain lit because good commanders, solid mentors will prevail.” — Declaration by Brock Mullinix The large, imposing Texas oilman chomps on his second Big Mac, then chugs from a bottle of Diet Coke. The intense and to-the-point Russian President dabs at his porridge and slurps two raw quail eggs from a cup. Sergey Orlov’s steely eyes stare sharply at Luther Tex Lofton and vows, “We will pull this off; we will rule the world.” Lofton wins the presidency in a landslide, whipping a Social Democrat, viciously smeared throughout the 2016 campaign. A nude photo helps turn the Oval Office into a den of sin. Can a liberal Democrat, Brock Mullinix, quash this reign of tyranny? A presidential election in 2020 looms as a righteous pathway.

The Story.......... Ray ‘Coop’ Cooper had been a bounty hunter for two years, but now after losing his partner to a medical condition, he considered putting his guns up since he no longer had a backup. In the midst of his last caper, his life was saved by a woman and a dog. After much haggling, the gal convinced him to take her on as his backup. After several successful capers, Ray saw the need to protect this impish gal called Elle—double E double L. Seeing the need for stability, the Duo purchased a gun-shop and spent time promoting it. Coop came to a realistic awareness that bounty hunting was too dangerous for a family man, and the slow pace of a gun-shop was not his style. It was serendipity when a neighbor convinced them to purchase a 2,500-acre woodlot, set up a state-of-the-are sawmill, get some training, and become millionaires in eight years. After a month of training in Houston, they returned with four friends, and proceeded to set up a sawmill. After growing woes and making changes, the team became proficient. In time they added a kiln, then enlarged it, added a planer, and organized the first known sawmill ‘open house’ to promote and sell their quality products.
