The tall, young Texan had gambled, fought, and killed in every town from Montana to Mexico. He'd been in plenty of places where there was no law, but this little hellhole was the worst.Jard Hardman... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The revised book “Open Range” published by Five Star Westerns in 2002 is far superior to this book which had additions written by a ghost writer and was originally published in the late 1940's just because the editors at Harpers didn't feel the book was long enough--pure balderdash. The lead character, Panhandle Smith, has his life told from birth, and his nomadic lifestyle readies him for whatever is thrown in his way; and this is in essence the plot of this book. And he finds his "eldorado" in a rim-rock lined canyon filled with thousands of wild horses, worth a fortune if he can capture and sell them. Of course, one man stands in his way of capturing the horses and between him and the girl. It wouldn't be Zane Grey without the course of romance which never ran smoothly. Despite the ghost written additions I would still encourage you to buy this book, although Open Range is so much better it is almost impossible to express how much better. But this version will suffice if you can’t acquire the other.
