Long Trail to Texas — Kirk Hamilton

The orders came straight from the President himself, so Yancey Bannerman and Johnny Cato had no choice but to carry them out. But the orders stunk to high heaven.Washington had promised to supply a small army of gunfighters, plus weapons and ammunition, to an outlaw named El Condor. In return, El Condor and his rebels would then do everything they could to remove Mexico’s present anti-American government from power. Cato’s job was to enlist the men. Yancey’s job was to train and then deliver them to El Condor’s stronghold.But once El Condor got what he wanted, everyone became fair game, no matter their political persuasion. He soon tore a swathe through the border country, and the Enforcers felt duty-bound to stop him. But with Cato all but crippled in a vicious machete fight, what could they do to take down the very army they themselves had created?
