The Pursuers — Kent Conwell

The brainchild of Amazon Kindle Number One bestselling western writers Mike Stotter and Ben Bridges, PICCADILLY PUBLISHING is dedicated to reissuing new and classic fiction from Yesterday and Today!

THE PURSUERS

Enraged by the savage butchery and cremation of Uncle Bob Hammond, the old bossloper who raised him, Jake Cutter sets out after the Arivaipa Apache chief, Chachu and his band of comancheros, who also carried away four women from a wagon train to sell down in Mexico.

In Cutter's small posse is Charlie Pickett, a deadly gunfighter who swore to kill Cutter, but is forced to wait until they can rescue his twin sister, one of the captives.

Sickened by the thought that perhaps his brother, Adolpho, is part of the band, Jake doggedly tracks the savages down to the Sierra Madres where a stunning quirk of fate places him fighting Yaquis and Apache alongside his comanchero brother to rescue the women and save the life of the old comanchero who reared Adolpho.



ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kent Conwell grew up in the wide-open Texas Panhandle town of Wheeler, population 848. His love for the West came naturally, for his grandfather had run away from his Tennessee home when he was 14, bullwhacking his way to the Panhandle where he met his future wife, who had traveled from Illinois to Texas.

After moving to Fort Worth, Kent was more at home at the stockyards than school. Somehow, he managed to earn a B.S. and began teaching. Later, he moved to Port Neches where he acquired a M.Ed. and Ph.D. His love for writing about the West, a period in history unique to America, has never waned. A successful educator, he also won awards for his short stories, screenplays, mysteries, and Westerns. He died in February 2013.
