Charles Alden Seltzer

The Two-Gun Man (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Along with Zane Grey and William MacLeod Raine, Charles Alden Seltzer is remembered today as an originator of what's often called the formula western. In it, a cowboy hero, who is fast with a gun, meets and subdues a vicious villain and who also wins the heart and hand of a pretty sweetheart. "The Two-Gun Man" has all these elements firmly in place. It is set at an unspecified time in the open ranges of the Southwest, somewhere in the neighborhood of Raton and Cimarron, New Mexico. Rustlers are stealing Two Diamond cattle, and the manager is fit to be tied. The range boss claims it's the neighbor, but there's no proof. Everyone finds the neighbor's sister desirable, but she finds everyone tedious. Will lies, jealousy, double dealing, and maybe even a cold-blooded killing keep Ned Ferguson from uncovering the truth?
