This one contains two short novels (both originally appear in the magazine, Triple Western, in the early 50s) that both have revenge as a major plot. The first is about two brothers who have to battle a powerful land owner who will stop at nothing to take their range and to run off the homsteaders that were growing hay for them. The second is when another powerful man beats up a young kid because of his harlot of a wife made him believe that she was having an affair with him. The Kid finds himself alone and set up as a rustler and having to grow up fast.
Highly recommended, Patten is a master and have never read a dud yet from him.

Appearances tell the story
LBP is not l'amour but he still writes a complicated and moving plot. The characters are vivid and true to life. The hero may not look it but the villain sure does. Evil does not win when goodness will not relent.

Two Western Short Stories
(1) Guns in Greenwood Valley: Two brothers discover who is rustling cattle. The younger brother asks the suspect and ends up being almost best to death and the older brother is trapped by gunmen. The fight is over water rights and who owned them originally.
(2) The Woman of Ox-Bow: A young is trying to determine why his father was murdered. He begins to investigate and he stopped at one ranch to ask questions and is framed by a woman for touching her. He runs and partners with a gunman who teaches him how to use a gun.
The two short stories are excellent reads for the genre.....DEHS
