Publisher Description

Having finished Texas Standoff, seven-time Spur Award winner Elmer Kelton-the Western Writers of America's "Best Western Writer of All Time"-took his leave with 50 notches on his gunbelt of classics. When Ranger Andy Pickard is sent to central Texas to investigate a series of killings and cattle thefts, two prominent cattlemen are prime suspects. But the rise of a gang of masked vigilantes and the arrival of a notorious hired gunman complicate matters.

"I loved this trilogy about the start of the Texas Rangers. Kelton's descriptions of what Texas used to be like are excellent! I also felt that he carefully researched and presented both sides of several sticky political issues at the time. I really like all of Kelton's books I've read so far. "
— Nece (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

“Elmer Kelton does not write Westerns. He writes fine novels set in the West. Here a reader meets flesh-and-blood people of an earlier time, in a story that will grab you and hold you from the first to the last page.”
— Dee Brown, author of the New York Times bestseller Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
“This is a fine example of [Kelton’s] craftsmanship. Character, plot, and the spirit of the Old West combine to take readers into the lives of our forebears.”
— Booklist

Overall Performance:
" Texas Ranger Andy Pickard is newly married when he is sent to Central Texas with his new partner Logan Daggett to put a stop to vigilate violence. The Rangers land right in the middle of a fued between two families. Everytime they get close to the vigilantes, the witness is murdered. "

Overall Performance:
" Elmer Kelton ranks alongside Louis L'Amour. Well-told tale. "
— Harry, 4/12/2011
Overall Performance:
" Really liked it and I wasn't sure I would. Westerns can be a good read and I may have to look into more. I'd like to go back and read the rest of the series to see what made Andy Pickard the Ranger and man he is. "
— Kristina, 1/16/2011
Overall Performance:
" Classic Western. Engaging and a quick read. Relaxing compared to the Sanuel Huntington book. "
