About This Book

A horseman narrates episodes from the Arizona frontier centered on Curly, whose ties to cattle operations and a disgraced family draw him into gambling, rustling, and a feud with a powerful stock owner. Encounters with Apaches, gunfights, a manhunt, and the raising of posses escalate into raids, robberies, a daring rescue, and a high-stakes ransom at an isolated stronghold; interlaced scenes of roundup life, loyalties among vaqueros, and narrow escapes portray the rough codes and hardships of desert ranching communities.
