The Reluctant Gun

War Hero

The end of the Civil War found Mike Castle, a hero of the Battle of Atlanta, sick of carnage and the stink of death.  Doffing his uniform for the last time, he sought peace in the West with his uncle, a rancher in Colorado. There he found a new life and Jean Lock, a blue-eyed beauty.     

His search for serenity was short lived when he met King Wesley, a land speculator whose gang was threatening to drive those Mike loved from their homes.  Despite his best intentions, Mike soon found himself strapping on his gun, once again facing violence to oppose evil.
