Showdown in a Western Town
In this early novel by Louis L'Amour we find a traditional western--Alton Burwick is trying to steal all of the land by driving homesteaders from the range, and he hires Tom Kedrick to lead the bunch of killers. But when Kedrick finds out he is to kill innocent men and women he balks at the job. There-in lies the basis for the book. This one was first published under the Jim Mayo pseudonym . A book of quick action and gunsmoke.
