“The title story and three others concentrate on Texas, Arizona, Utah—and Mexico—for wild backgrounds and vigorous action. The Ranger thwarts bandits and kidnappers and wins a Spanish beauty; Canyon Walls are a good hideout for Monty, lead him to a reformed life, a wife—and a pardon for his past misdeeds; Avalanche, plus the winter, imprisons two men, raised as brothers, now at odds over a girl, and brings them together in their efforts to survive; From Missouri comes young Jane Stacey to bring trouble to Springer’s ranch but she gets a chance to stay in the West permanently. Robust.”
