A First UK paperback with a stated First Publication in Great Britain. In very good condition for its age. Some minor creasing to the book covers. The pages are quite tanned but the book remains eminently readable.

This is a collection of Louis L’Amour short stories that have been collected and revised by the author with additional newly written material. It is the only authorized edition of these stories.

SYNOPSIS: “He was new to this town, but the marshal had seen it many times before, this hurry and bustle. He had seen it over cattle, over land, over silver and gold. Wherever it seemed that money might quickly be had, the men thronged. Some were good men, builders, men of iron. The strong, the brave, the true. But they were not alone, for here were also the scum. The cheats, the gamblers, the good-for-nothings. The men who robbed, who destroyed, who lived by deceit or treachery. And here also were those who felt that strength or gun skills make them the law – their own law. And these were often the most dangerous.

And it was for these that he was here. The marshal looked over the gathering mob. He spoke loudly: “Those of you who deserve hanging will get it.”
