Description: JIM BENBOW, foreman of the Hat Ranch, was just back from Cheyenne. The night of his return, at the saloon in Two Dance, a stranger hit him for a job—and got it. He was sent alone to a line camp. A day or two later the stranger's horse loped into camp with a limp load lashed to its saddle. To it was fastened a note. "Here's your range detective from Cheyenne, Ben-bow. You didn't fool anybody.”Wyoming in the 1880's was deep West. There was law. It was made by the strongest men. There was order. It was kept by guns that slipped easily and purposefully from their holsters. Few novelists have understood the real temper of that life in the cattle country. Ernest Haycox is one of the few. From this story of Ben-bow, of his love for Connie Dale, his friendship for Clay Rand, and his struggle to preserve the Hat Ranch beef, the reader will get some of the old thrill.
