Buck Peters, Ranchman

Hopalong Cassidy #6

by Clarence Edward Mulford

When Buck Peters went to Montana to start a new ranch, he found his partner dead, his cowhands being slaughtered like steers, himself shot full of holes and a neighbor stealing his stock.

It meant on range war.

Only Hoppy could help Buck now--Hoppy, who was in Texas with a newfound bride and a ranch to run.

But Hoppy had no choice. He was Buck's last hope. He had to come.

Reviews

[Michael Bethany · Rating 3 out of 5]

The writer's prose is excellent but the character introduction and development is a bit difficult to follow. Some of the story line is lackluster and parts feels contrived but the ending is warm and sweet.
