American author James Reasoner specializes in historical military novels, westerns, and mysteries. He also writes under the pseudonyms "Mike Jameson", "Hank Mitchum" and "Dana Fuller Ross." He has written more than 40 novels. His spouse, Livia Washburn Reasoner, is also a prolific writer of westerns, mysteries, and romances. The Reasoners were each raised in Texas, and currently live near Azle, Texas.
Perhaps Reasoner's best known work is the ten-volume James Reasoner Civil War Series, which features the fictional Brannon family. The series is set in the town and county of Culpeper, Virginia, a major Confederate supply depot in central northern Virginia north of the Rapidan River.
Reasoner has another series of novels set in the American Civil War era, "The Palmetto Trilogy." This series is set in South Carolina and revolves around the Tyler and Gilmore families.
In addition to authoring the Walker, Texas Ranger books, he has written several volumes in the Wagons West series, a frontier series starting with the first wagon train heading to Oregon in 1837, and continuing on with their descendants up through 1941.

The 14th novel in the Stagecoach Station series revolves around a gold shipment from Denver, destined for the small town of Cimarron, Colorado. The gold has been secured beneath a false bottom on the stage but unfortunately a group of three outlaws knows of the gold and have a plan to get it for themselves. Standing in their way are a couple of passengers on the stage including a schoolmarm from Boston and an actor looking for a new future. Additionally, an aging sheriff and a friendly neighborhood bank robber get in on the action. There are a few more subplots as well, probably a couple too many to properly flesh out in a book of this length but they do all mesh together to make for a pretty good entry in the series.
The author’s name on the front of this book and all books in the “Stagecoach Station� series is Hank Mitchum. Of course, that is a house name, and the real author of this particular novel is Will C. Knott, this being the last of the five books he penned for the series. While he did write quite a few books under his own name he wrote many more books as an early and major contributor to long-running western series such as “Longarm�, Slocum� and “Trailsman�.
This is a fairly typical entry in the Stagecoach Station series. All the books are stand-alone stories filled with a variety of characters thrown together into an adventure. I’m sure none would have won the Spur award for the best western fiction novel category but for good clean western fun, they’re always quick fun reads.
