He faced everything that came at him head-on -- with his Colt in his hand. That was why Sylvanus Overdeck hired Riley Haslam as a gunhand for the deadly range war at Big Saddle Pass. But aboard a little puffing four-car train bound for the Deer Creek country, Riley found out he'd be a fool to fight for either side in the vicious land and cattle war that was shaping up ahead. Then he got off the train into a storm of fists and bullets -- some of which killed one of his partners. Only a coward could turn back now. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
