Flintlock
Johnstone, William W.
"Life is hard on the American frontier. Justice is even harder. But when it comes to revenge no man can escape the righteous wrath of a wronged bounty hunter. Especially when his name is Flintlock . . . When his pal O'Hara gets bullwhipped by a trio of lowdown prairie rats Flintlock finds sanctuary for his wounded friend at the cabin of a kindly miner and his lovely daughter. Flintlock heads out to hunt down some food. But there's more than just deer lurking in these woods. A bloodthirsty band of eight savage raiders--led by a half-mad gunslinger called The Old Man of the Mountain--wage a full-scale attack on the miner's cabin. By the time Flintlock returns O'Hara's been beaten the miner's been shot and the daughter's been kidnapped . . . It gets worse. The Old Man plans to make the young beauty his bride. But Flintlock has a plan too. It's not just a rescue mission. It's a vengeance ride--leading to one bloody showdown that'll go down in history . . . "--
