To Ride the River With
When a cowboy says his partner is fit "to ride the river with" he is paying his friend a great compliment. This book deserves such a comment. River Range is a collection of three short novels by the master of the old west, L.P. Holmes, and the three stories in this book are no exceptions to his story telling worthiness. The settings range from the high plains to the Colorado river; from cattle rustling to horse thieving; and with each tale there are characters you will love and love to hate. The richness and the true to life people in these stories are what makes an L.P. Holmes story worth reading. These are people who could be your neighbors--the kind and helpful, the proud and willful, the decent who just want to be left alone. These are the stories of America, and not just of the old west. I highly recommend this book.
