The Valley of Lost Herds - Paperback

by W. C. Tuttle (Author)

A cattle-rich valley is ruled by a hard old boss when pay night erupts in gunfire, sparking a new round of range trouble. The last independent outfit won't bow, a half-Cheyenne tracker is blamed for vanishing stock, and a saloon violinist pressed into nursing duty is pulled into the fight.

As ambushes mount and cattle bunch for a secret drive, tracks point to a narrow pass where riders slip herds out after dark. After a bold abduction turns the feud personal, a new foreman must think faster than hired guns, ride rough country, and decide who can be trusted-because every badge and brand may hide a double-cross. The chase runs from river willows to high ridges, with decoys, blind trails, and a final standoff that will test every loyalty.

Frontier justice, quick wits, and hard riding decide whether the valley stays in one man's grip or breaks free in the scramble for the lost herds.
