Riders of the Suwannee (Cracker Western)

Riders of the Suwannee (Cracker Western)

Tate Barkley returns to 1870sâ€™ Florida after ten years on the Western frontier. Heâ€™s the kind of man trouble just naturally seems to find, and to tell the truth, heâ€™s gotten sort of used to it by now. But Big Bill Caton and his three dozen renegades are more trouble than Tate figured on. Before his run-in with the Caton bunch, heâ€™d halfway thought about settling down in the Florida Panhandle where he grew up. Now it seems like a better idea just to keep on riding. That is, until Tate meets Eileen McClanahan, a widow with a couple of kids, who is trying to hold on to her place on the Florida Gulf coast. Sheâ€™s more than Tate figured on too. With a temper and a stubborn streak that would put a mule to shame, sheâ€™s not about to back down from Big Bill Caton or anybody else. Tateâ€™s a rough manâ€”a man with a bark on, as they sayâ€”but it isnâ€™t in him to let a woman face that kind of crowd alone. Heâ€™s a fighter by trade as well as by inclination, and he decides heâ€™d just better stick around and see this fight through to the finish. Whose finish itâ€™ll be, though, is something Tate would rather not think about right at the moment.
