Zane Grey's Western Annual #1966

When Beasley schemes to seize control of Auchincloss’s cattle empire with the help of three hired guns, the plan begins to unravel after a secret is overheard—setting the stage for a tense showdown on the frontier. Milt Dale, Moze, Snake Anson, Wilson, and Nell Rainer find themselves caught in the crossfire of greed and betrayal, where loyalty is tested and the land itself feels the weight of coming reckoning.

On the morning of October 5, 1892, in Coffeyville, Kansas, the Dalton Gang—George, Charley, Bob, Emmet, and three other members—made a desperate bid to rob the local bank. As the town’s citizens rallied to defend their community, gunfire erupted between the outlaws and the townspeople, leaving four gang members dead and Emmet wounded. The story captures the chaos and courage of that fateful day, where lives were lost on both sides, and one man’s path would later lead to redemption.

In "30,000 on the Hoof," the Huett family’s life on the frontier hinges on cattle, loyalty, and the quiet strength of a ranch built on generations. When the Campbells threaten their herd with knives and greed, the Huett sons stand firm—only to face tragedy when war claims George and Grant, and Abe vanishes, leaving Babs to raise their child in sorrow. Years later, a return from the front brings not just a man, but a staggering revelation: fifteen hundred head of cattle, all Huett’s, grazing in the pastures. The story’s quiet power lies in what’s left unsaid—the weight of loss, the resilience of family, and the slow, steady return of hope.
