First mass market edition. New York, NY : Forge, 2019. ℗2018. 468 pages ; 19 cm. "A Tom Doherty Associates book.". Each of Elmer Kelton's superb stories of the West showcase the strength and power of western spirit. They are filled with marvelous characters--from a rodeo clown who seeks redemption via romance, to an outlaw who comes to the aid of ranchers with no other recourse to justice. Powerful Western women feature as importantly as the menfolk here, including a cattle buyer's daughter who can hold her own with any man on the trail, a renowned lady outlaw who rules her gang with her gun, and judge's daughter who is determined to end local mob rule, as the day of the gun is almost over. You will meet characters whose devotions and decisions enthrall you long after you put the book down. 20191002. Outlaws Fiction. Ranchers Fiction. Ranches Fiction. Man-woman relationships Fiction.
