Tomahawk

THE RANGE KING WAS DEAD—NOW THE GRASS WAR WAS STARTING

Guy Van Horn had built Tomahawk Ranch by his own harsh strength and his unbending will. Now he was dead, and the Salt Creek settlers—desperate for grass and water—were ready to move in.

Only the old man's three sons could stop them. But Matt Van Horn was cau­tious, a man without much physical courage. Billy was a scared kid, still in his teens. Kirk Van Horn was still young and unproved when the showdown came. And so most of the Tomahawk men chose to draw their pay and ride over the hill.

Now Kirk Van Horn, with a handful of loyal riders, faced the task of leading the shrunken Tomahawk forces against an invading rangeland army—the des­perate settlers who had to win or die.
