Summer of the Gun
BE NOT AFRAID OF ANY MAN,
NO MATTER WHAT HIS SIZE -
WHEN DANGER THREATENS, CALL ON ME
- I WILL EQUALIZE.
Those word - etched on the long barrel of the Colt they called The Redeemer - would ring as loud and true as the gun itself in the ears of those who dared to challenge the McCalisters. When a pack of Confederate renegades came thundering in looking for captives, they made easy prey of the McCalister women. But they hadn't reckoned on Bubba, the 13 year old feist of a boy who set out to save his mother and sister. Mounted on a brave old horse, armed with luck, guts and and a rusty Walker Colt nearly half his size, a boy could do a hell of a lot of equalizing in the Summer of the Gun.

Henry Wilson Allen (September 12, 1912 – October 26, 1991) was an American author and screenwriter. He used several different pseudonyms for his works.

Most of these were published under one or the other of the pseudonyms Will Henry and Clay Fisher. Allen was a five-time winner of the Spur Award from the Western Writers of America and a recipient of the Levi Strauss Award for lifetime achievement.
