Mark Counter's Kin

Mark Counter, blond giant of Ole Devil Hardin's floating outfit, was famous throughout the West for his strength, his skill as a cowhand, his prowess with the ladies, and an ability second only to Dusty Fog when it came to a lightning-fast draw.But Mark had kin who were almost as famous as he was.Here, in one volume, is the story of Mark Counter's famous kin-James Allenvale Gunn, better known as Bunduki, Chief Game Warden of an African Wildlife Reservation-Brad Counter, Deputy Sheriff in Rockabye County-Sergeant Ranse Smith, member of the elite but little-publicized Company Z of the Texas Rangers-and Jessica and Trudeau Front de Boeuf, two of the most likeable rogues who ever trod the Old West. J.T. Edson brings to life the fierce and often bloody struggles of untamed West. His colorful characters are linked together by the binding power of the spirit of adventure -- and hard work -- that eventually won the West. With more than 25 million copies of his novels in print, J.T. Edson has proven to be one of the finest craftsmen of Western storytelling in our time. J.T. Edson describes a Floating Outfit as a group of cowhands who travel the outer sections of ranchland dealing with problems that occur far from the main house. Dusty Fog, The Ysabel Kid and Mark Counter make up the Floating Outfit at the OD Connected Ranch, and they travel far and wide punching cows and righting wrongs in the old West.
