A Question of Bounty
A Shot in the Dark. A Questionable Claim. A Mystery That Just Won’t Die. In the exciting conclusion to his epic Bounty Trilogy, bestselling author Paul Colt pulls back the curtain on one of the West’s most enduring mysteries—the death of Billy the Kid at the hands of Sheriff Pat Garrett on July 14, 1881. Emerging as a violent and headstrong young gunslinger during the famed Lincoln County War, William F. Bonney’s audacious outlaw escapades are legendary—but are they accurate? Witness the intricate web of contradictions surrounding not only his reputation, but his supposed death, as well. Was it truly Billy who met his demise that night, or did the pressure on Garrett from above lead to a case of mistaken identity and an elaborate cover-up? Skillfully conceived and masterfully written, A Question of Bounty: The Shadow of Doubt will make you question everything you thought you knew about the man known as Billy the Kid.

Friends Call Me Bat
William Barclay “Bat” Masterson lived an extraordinary life almost impossible to imagine. If it weren’t true, no one would believe it. He lived the West when the West was wild— as a buffalo hunter, Indian fighter, army scout, lawman, and gambler. Bat's adventures took him from the Bear Shield Raid to Dodge City in its anything-goes-cow-town heyday and many more events where his significance remains largely unknown. He encountered and ran with some of the West’s most colorful characters, deadly gunfighters, and dangerous desperados, a veritable “Who’s Who” of old West history. Friends Call Me Bat is his story and those of his friends as he might have told them, complete with an otherworldly twist at the end.

Three larger-than-life figures thrown together in a dusty corner of overlooked history known as the Mexican Punitive Expedition. It is nothing less than the end of an era.

The traditional cavalry missions of reconnaissance and communications are being taken over by the Army’s fledgling air service and the promise of wireless communications. Modern ballistics render the saber—and the horse cavalry itself—obsolet...
