I am reviewing this book from the copy which I own, an A L Burt hard back published by arrangement with Greenberg Publishers in the 1930's or 1940's, a copy I have owned for nearly 40 years. Roaring Range is an outstanding book which displays to the reader the raw and powerful environment which was the old west where law and outlaw were sometimes intermixed, where there was no outlaw because there was no law. When one sheriff loses his job and the new one is as unlawful as the element which he is suppose to be arresting, the country is overrun with gun and torch. Entering into this scenario is Cole Bridger called in by the decent cattlemen to lead them in the defense of their homes and their lives. How this all works out of course is the story. And only such as L P Holmes could produce a story fast paced, yet with warm romance, and quiet courage, amid the spectacle and panorama of the west. I heartily endorse this book. It is what a "western" should be.
