"Gun Fog"opens at the tail end of an all-night poker game. Young Jerry Knight, who has just drifted in, finds himself the big loser and signs an agreement to work for the Circle F without compensation for two months. The destitute cowboy has no idea that he is about to become involved in cattle rustling and framed for a murder. "The Red Raider" is the story of murder and mayhem on the open range. Old Dad Flint sets out to revenge the murder of his son and, unfortunately, the confrontation takes place in the desert where the murderer is accompanied by Kicking Horse and his band of renegade Apaches. (Allan) William Colt MacDonald was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1891.

The title story is set in the border country between the US and Mexico and is the story of a father out to avenge the murder of his son. This was country that the author knew quite well as he explored it extensivesly in search of story material. Gun Fog the other story tells the story of a broke down on his luck cowpoke who has lost all of his money gambling, and to pay his debt agrees to go to work at the Circle F ranch without pay. But circumstances at the ranch are not what they appear to be and he finds himself rustling cattle and "framed" for a murder. These two novellas are typical work by William Cold MacDonald, and well worth reading. He is perhaps better known for his "Three Mesquiteers" books which were adapted to the movies with John Wayne starring in several of them. I personally like his Gregory Quist books about a railroad detective. I think I can safely say any book of his is worth reading.
