Certainly nothing special about this one, A rather mundane story about a powerful rancher fighting to keep the railroad out of town. Secondary to the story is the take off on Romeo and Juliet.

Johnstone has written better and more interesting Mac Callister stories.

A bounty hunter pursues an outlaw he already caught, but escaped from prison. Meanwhile, other people are after the bounty hunter, and the railroad is coming to town.

There's a lot of shooting, but not much plot.

This was awesome. It's about one man who wants to bring a railroad to a small town and another who doesn't want it. So you can guess what happens.

This is a great story about the building of a section of railroad from the town of Higbee to LaJunta. Falcon MacCallister signs on to help his friend, Garrison Wade, in getting that done and the Clinton family are out to stop it from being built. I like the added touch of some of the story being written in the Higbee Journal. An entertaining read.
