A lone cattleman on his way to Utah is sidetracked by a young lady in distress. The story tracks his adventures to help her be free of her murderous in-laws who want to take over her family's ranch and assets. It's a complex story told in first-person style that really works. The plot unravels slowly throughout the entire story as the reader learns more and more about the background of our hero, "Stumpy" and his quest to help the damsel. Along the way, Stumpy experiences bullets, fights, falls, jail and a tarnished reputation - but also gains some new friends as he sets off to do the right thing and deliver justice to his appreciative young lady. Its enjoyable and author Frank Roderus does an outstanding job of delivering an interesting, and detailed western themed adventure that includes wonderful descriptions of country and characters. I recommend this book to western readers.
