Wanted Men
In "Broken Wings" the setting is northern New Mexico, where a revolution is in progress near the port of San Quentin and beyond. But it is an unusual revolution since it is inspired by an American industrialist who wants to get his hands on a fabulous cache of gold confiscated by the current provincial governor. In "Wanted Men," Bart has been the ward of old man Haddock and has known nothing but cruelty and scorn. When Hank Plunkett is caught and held prisoner at the ranch, Bart arranges for the rustler to escape - but Plunkett must take Bart with him. When old man Haddock offers a reward for Bart's return, Bart sets out on a lengthy journey that eventually brings him to New Mexico Territory. There he learns that old man Haddock isn't so much interested in Bart's return as in his death.

A WC. Double Western/ "Broken Wings" & "Wanted Men"
WC. has. penned a double western. The first novel is about an escape from San Quentin. The time is shortly after World War One because they talk of flying and aircraft during the war. The objective is to escape to Mexico. I'm the second novel a young boy is raised by a man who beats the life from or he tried to do so. The young boys mother was murdered and the murderer kidnapped the child. He took him to Montana and tried to kill him. Then one of the men who worked for the boys father recognized him. He sent word and eventually the two were glad to get together. This was two excellent reads for the genre.....DEHS
