Cattle Drive North
This Louis L'Amour book is pretty good reading and deals with the hard life of a cowpuncher when he reaches the end of the line in a trail town. The only real kick I have is the fact it was written in first person, for I personally do not like that kind of prose; it can become quite overly dramatic and opinionated at times. The real crux of the story is, Tom Lundy is killed and his sister, Kate, the owner of the Tumbling B vows to wipe out the whole town if the killer isn't surrendered, using Conn Dury as her weapon of choice--he was ramrod of the outfit. There are additional troubles as well they have to face before they can head back to Texas.
