☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeRoundup #4 is an anthology of Western stories. One story features a cowboy who must rescue a woman from a burning house while dealing with gunfire and desperados in pursuit. Another story, "The Terrible Twomey Twins," follows schoolteacher Martha Pringle as she arrives in the tough town of Lonely Oak to teach the notoriously difficult Twomey twins, who are expected to be too wild and undisciplined for her to handle. The issue contains multiple additional Western tales including stories titled "Pearl of Death," "Six-Gun Kid," "Indian Justice," "Sheriff's Deputy," "Cherokee Wrath," and "Hoss Laffs."
Deputy sheriff Billy Baker gets his chance to prove he's got what it takes when the ruthless killer Wolf Rainey rolls into Stagecoach, Nevada with blood on his mind. Rainey's hired to eliminate the leaders of the small ranchers and Sheriff Ace Adams himself, but he doesn't count on Billy and his girl Patsy stepping in when the chips are down. It's a raw test of nerve for a seventeen-year-old honorary deputy who's been training under Adams—and the moment that could make him a real lawman.
Trader Will Powderly thinks he's stumbled onto a Cherokee uprising when mysterious masked riders attack him on Haunted Pass and farms around Powder Keg Gulch start burning—but a closer look at the evidence suggests the real threat might be something else entirely. When spectral lights and war cries point to a deeper conspiracy, Will must uncover the truth before an innocent people are driven from their land and a crooked scheme succeeds.
A young woman headed to the frontier town of Hawkville to claim her inheritance meets Tom Clayton on a stagecoach, but their journey is cut short when outlaws attack and kidnap her—along with a precious pearl earring she carries as identification. Tom pursues the gang relentlessly, discovering that the kidnapping was orchestrated by her own guardian to steal both the earring and her fortune, leading to a desperate rescue and a reckoning in an isolated shack.
When bank robbers strike during a Wild West celebration in Jerry's Colorado town, the young man finds himself thrust into a gunfight that echoes his legendary grandfather's legacy—armed with nothing but the old six-shooters on display and a horse named Tinto. Jerry discovers he's got more of his famous ancestor's skill than anyone—including himself—bargained for, and proves he's worthy of the Bottles name when it counts most.
Jeff Wyatt finds himself caught between duty and an impossible choice when a ruthless outlaw manipulates a Shoshone chief into demanding 2,000 rifles in exchange for a settler's kidnapped daughter. Suspecting the scheme is the work of the fugitive Buckskin Galt rather than genuine tribal grievance, Wyatt rides into enemy territory to confront both the criminal and settle the matter on the chief's own terms. What unfolds is a tense negotiation where words and honor must outweigh the threat of all-out frontier warfare.
When a new schoolteacher named Martha Pringle arrives in the rough frontier town of Lonely Oak, she quickly discovers that the lawless Terrible Twomey Twins are terrorizing the community—burning homes and killing without consequence. Forced to take matters into her own hands, Martha sheds her mild-mannered identity to become the Scarlet Sharpshooter, a lightning-fast gunslinger determined to bring justice to a town that desperately needs it. As she pursues the reckless twins, she must balance her mission to educate the town's children with her fight to restore law and order.
