[Free eBook] Hidden Guns by Gordon Landsborough [Western Historical Action Novel]

Hidden Guns by the late British author Gordon Landsborough is his vintage standalone western historical action adventure novel, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press’ Pioneering Press imprint.

This was originally published in 1961 by Brown, Watson Ltd..

YMMV if it’s not the sort of thing that you want to come across in your leisure entertainment reading, even if said groups are not villainized in the story.
