AxMen Gone Wild
Guns of the Timberland is one of the best of the best by Louis L'Amour; and the movie starring Alan Ladd is not bad as well. Sadly, I haven't seen this movie in well over 15 or 20 years. But when the clear cutting of the timber off of the mountain creates mudslides which threaten the the town some one has to stop it--Clay Bell. Jud Devitt, rich and ruthless, believing might makes right, takes over whatever he can. And he wants Bell's timber, as well. A good, early novel by L'Amour that has all the components of a traditional western.
