Piccadilly Doubles 2: Rockwell plus The Bandit of Hell's Bend
Peter McCurtin & Robert E. Howard
They called him the Mormon Triggerite, and bestowed upon him the honored title of sheriff. He saw himself as a servant of the Lord, called to mete out justice to all those who opposed Him.
He was Orrin Porter Rockwell and he committed a hundred murders in the name of God. Although today there stands a stone monument in his honor, as hard and sturdy as the man himself, there are some who'd like to forget he ever lived.
Also in this volume, THE BANDIT OF HELL'S BEND by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The Bandit of Hell's Bend was published by "Argosy All-Story Weekly" in September and October 1924. The book version was first published by A. C. McClurg on 1925-06-04. This is one of four Westerns that Burroughs wrote. He had two working titles for it: "The Black Coyote" and "Diana of the Bar Y."
The story is a combination western and mystery and is written in a breezy, relaxed style that makes use of a poetry framing device to hold the story together. Of special note it is one of a very few novels that Burroughs wrote in which the heroine is physically beaten by the bad guy. Read more HERE
