Montana Gunfighter: A Western Duo

by Lewis B. Patten

In the title story, Roan Childress has a small ranch in Montana. An incursion by rustlers has left him without the where-with-all to make his next mortgage payment to the bank.

But the situation is far more complicated than Houston had described it...
