Abilene — Hank Mitchum

STAGECOACH -A powerful new series of adventures set in the West's most dramatic towns-filled with the danger, history and romance of the bold men and women who conquered the frontier.

"Nell is in session!" was a cry that rang through Abilene's untamed streets. Notorious as a wild end-of-the-trail town, Abilene reeked of gambling, drinking and fighting-and at any time, day or night, cowboys full of whiskey courage could set off shock waves of sudden death. In desperation the town's leaders brought in a new marshal: the legendary gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok. He was a hard man who brought a hard law to Abilene...the law of his lightning-quick guns. Yet Hickok stirred up his own deadly controversy. Some thought him too bloody, and others sought the new marshal out as a target to prove their manhood. Crusading Eastern reporter Elliot Carson and struggling divorcee Connie Witherspoon are new to Abilene's dangers but are soon swept up in the raging turmoil of a town ready to explode.
