The Rustlers of West Fork
In this first of four classic frontier novels, Louis L'Amour  adds his own special brand to the life and adventures of one of  America's favorite fictional cowboys, Hopalong Cassidy. InThe  Rustlers Of West Fork, the quick-thinking, fast-shooting cowpuncher  heads west to deliver a fortune in bank notes to his old friend, Dick  Jordan. When he arrives at the Circle J, he discovers that the rancher  and his daughter, Pam, are being held prisoner by a desperate band of  outlaws led by the ruthless Avery Sparr and his partner Arnold Soper.  Even if Hopalong Cassidy can free Jordan and Pam, he will have to lead  them across rough and untamed Apache country, stalked by the outlaws  who have vowed to gun him down. But Hopalong is no stranger to trouble,  and before his guns or his temper cool, he's determines to round up  Sparr and his gang and bring the outlaws to justice ... dead or alive!  This classic tale of pursuit and survival is vintage L'Amour and adds  new life and luster to the legend of Hopalong Cassidy.
