When hard-traveling Tom Buchanan and his two-fisted saddle partner, Coco Bean, rode into El Paso, flush with the winnings from Coco’s last prize fight, they found Ebenezar Shaw, an old friend and proprietor of the Grace Stage Line, in some mean trouble with a greedy big businessman and his hired desperadoes.
Buchanan and Coco used their loot to keep Ebenezar’s stage line from being grabbed up. Before long, however, Buchanan found himself high in the driver’s seat of a hurtling stagecoach. He whipped his team through a
crackling hail of bullets—and then went on to defend the spirit of home-grown enterprise from the back of a blazing gun!
William Robert Cox (1901-1988) was a writer for more than sixty years, and published more than seventy-five novels and perhaps one thousand short stories, as well as more than 150 TV shows and several movies on film. He was well into his career, flooding the market with sports, crime, and adventure stories, when he turned to the western novel. He served twice as president of the Western Writers of America, and was writing his fifth Cemetery Jones novel, Cemetery Jones and the Tombstone War, when he passed away. He wrote under at least six pen names, including Willard d’Arcy, Mike Frederic, John Parkhill, Joel Reeve, Roger G. Spellman and, of course, Jonas Ward. Under the Ward byline, he wrote sixteen adventures in the Buchanan series, all of which will be published in ebook by Piccadilly Publishing.
