Rustler's Retreat
When Gaylord Riley met Jim Coburn, Riley was just a rawboned kid who had helped Coburn out of a tough spot. That introduced him to the outlaw trail, as Coburn was the head of a group who not only rustled cattle but robbed banks and stagecoaches. This book is about Riley's growing to manhood and his escape from that kind of life. This is a typical L'Amour product--full of action, good and bad characters you either immediately love or hate, and enough tension to make you want to slug some of the characters yourself. Written during his most productive and creative period.
