This is a good western. Mr. Roderus has a different style than most westerns.  His hero, is "Stumpy", by his own description, not terribly good looking, with a misproportioned body.  We meet him at night coming up to a fire (without the customary hailing btw), and meeting the gal of the story, Janet.  From there we find out that she's being chased by 3 guys, who turn out to be her not so good step-brothers.Anyway the story progresses, with quite a few twists and turns.  Our hero Stumpy, makes a lot of dumb mistakes, that should get himself killed (and nearly do) several times.I shook my head several times from the surprises of the book, and the writing style.  It is different from most westerns - not better, not worse - just different.  But I liked the book, and was happy that I read it when I got done.  Recommended.
