The Flying Life
The collected stories of EAA "Sport Aviation" columnist Lauran Paine Jr. This is aviation from the heart.
Man Behind the Gun
In Fort Morgan, Sam Starr, Jack Pate, and Roger Beemis arrive in town with their saddlebags bulging with the loot of their most recent robbery. Fort Morgan seems like the perfect sanctuary for them, especially when they learn that the town marshal has just died and there's no hurry to replace him.The only trouble the community faces is constant rustling. This doesn't concern the strangers until their own horses are rustled, and they set out to get their horses back. After all, who is in a better position to know just how thieves operate? In Man Behind the Gun, Jason and Arty Swift's lives change suddenly when they find their father murdered. Jason knows who did it, and sets out to settle the score. With no witnesses, Sheriff Whitney is unlikely to do anything to help him. Arty is left alone not only to see to their father's burial but to run the ranch all by himself, an all but impossible task. But Arty refuses to give up, no matter how much Jason's reign of vengeance brings trouble to the ranch.

The White Bird
Sam Sloan, an old buffalo hunter, finds his quest and spirit vision from the four directions of the wind, when an old Navajo, a Lakota woman, and a young girl join forces with him in a search for survival
The Grand Ones of San Ildefonso
A small border town in New Mexico, San Ildefonso had survived a lot. Marauding Indians, lawless bandoleros, soldiers in blue and raiders in war paint had come and gone. But now, renegades from south of the border were attempting to seize the village itself, in search of rumoured conquistador treasure. Lazaro Guardia, agent for the Forthright Stage & Freight Company, leads defence. With few young men to conscript, the village women and even the priest take up arms. The answer may be an old cannon, housed for years in the mission...but is there someone among the villagers who knows how to aim and fire?
Captain John Smith and the Jamestown Story
The short, burly Lincolnshireman, Captain John Smith, first among the Englishmen to establish a permanent settlement in the New World, was almost as controversial in death as he had been in life. In American history books he is portrayed as dauntless, energetic and staunch. Even in English history little is said about his life before he established and, for a time, ruled Jamestown settlement in what later became Virginia. But John Smith was already an almost legendary figure before he sailed for the New World. For centuries historians have branded Captain Smith a liar. But John Smith simply had the misfortune to live a life so colourful that ordinary people could not believe anyone capable of his achievements. Quite often he very narrowly managed to survive. Recently his flamboyant tales have been proven not just highly probable but true. John Smith lived a lifelong adventure, perhaps the 'least' memorable of his exploits being the questionable event of his life being saved by the Indian girl Pocahontas. More than three hundred years after his passing, the dispassionate judgements of contemporary historians show John Smith to have been very much a man of his time.
