Buster Adams and the Ragamuffin Gang

Buster Adams might not be everyone's idea of a rough, tough cowhand. Standing five foot six or seven (depending on the heels of his boots) he doesn't strike the most imposing figure, but his experience on the trail, and his tenacity of purpose when facing up to varmints - hombres and critters alike - make him a force to be reckoned with. One fateful day, in a countryside teaming with hostile indians, Buster comes across a young woman traveling with five orphaned children, a mongrel dog, and an ill-tempered goose - a raggedy group that needs more help than one man alone can give. But Buster's all they've got. The odds may be small, but they're not impossible, so Buster leads his ragamuffin gang through perilous country - facing treacherous rivers, angry Commanches, and cruel outlaws. In the best tradition of Louis L'Amour, Kent Conwell combines humor, intelligence and an adventuresome spirit in telling this tale of unlikely allies making their way through the west and finding their destiny at the end of the trail.
