The heart of the American West lives in Peter Dawson's stories, with characters that blaze a trail over a land coming of age. At times the law itself couldn't be trusted, as in "Manhunt in Malpais," while in "Lawman of Latigo Wells," a deputy sheriff's reputation for fearlessly pursuing his duties works against him. In "Bushwhack Heritage," a young man is in a quandary when all the evidence in two murder cases points directly at his father, and in the title story a Texas cattle rancher rides into New Mexico to learn why his name has been implicated in a theft. These and three more stories embody the dramatic struggles that made the American frontier unique and its people the stuff of legends. Book jacket.Dawson, Peter is the author of 'Lone Rider from Texas Western Stories' with ISBN 9780783889498 and ISBN 0783889496.
