This was the climax the end of a lifetime of bitterness and hateRusty Maxwell and Ben Sharp, both grown old, grizzled, and rich one the owner of a barbedwire empire, a sea of grass larger than some Eastern states the other risen to great political power, ruthlessly scheming to break the man with whom he had clashed ever since both had driven their longhorn herds over the trail to Dodge.To cut that empire in two, to bring its overlord to his knees, had long been Ben Sharps purpose. And in the South Western Pacific Railroad he found a weapon admirably forged to accomplish this end. But Rusty Maxwell, for all his years, had not forgotten how to fight nor had Lance Kincaid, the fledgling eagle he had reared, if not sired.Here is the laststand fight between the valiant Old West, bred to the plains and the saddle, fearless, a sixshooter the tool of its trade and the raw, dollardriven progress of the New. Lance Kincaid was certain of his position, the issues clearcut in his mind, until proud, smiling Valerie Pickett reached the endofsteel in her fathers construction car.In a novel that catches the soul of the windswept plains, Will Ermine has painted a canvas of historic action and drama which far exceeds the dimensions and depth of the usual cowboy story. Its tense, gripping reality strikes a singular note in Western fiction.
