Description: [Bill Hotchkiss wrote under several names, among them, Mack Madison and Jude Williams. The following from the copyright page is self-explanatory:] Mack Madison's novel TRAIL TO RUBY DOME was published previously (by Signet, New American Library) as THE MCLAFFERTYS, under the pseudonym of Jude Williams [1986, ISBN 10: 0451146255; ISBN 13: 9780451146250]. This present edition is to be considered the authorized version of the book. As Madison says, that other one not to count--since those damned fool New York editors left out a bunch of the good stuff and made some other errors besides.
[From the back cover:] THEY CROSSED A CONTINENT, NOT IN SEARCH OF GOLD OR FARMLAND, BUT BLOOD REVENGE
