Here is a duo that combines two new
book-length novels by Lauran Paine, one
of the finest and most popular authors
of Western stories. In The Valley of
Thunder, range men have been bursting
into Dunnigan, Wyoming, scattering
pedestrians, spoiling for _ trouble even
when they have not been drinking and
more when they have. Marshal Hugh
Mitchell’s job is to put an end to this
chaos. The problem is not simply the
rowdy range men, but also the owners of
the ranches: they are not about to have
their power questioned or challenged by
law enforcement, and are unwilling to
have any restraint whatsoever imposed
on their men by anyone.
The Story of Buckhorn is not the story
of a man, but ot a ranch. The .Buckhorn
is owned by two brothers, opposites in
all things. Gard Ashley is steely in his
determination to keep the Buckhorn the
best cattle ranch in the Dakota Territory.
Court Ashley, Card’s truculent brother,
sees his wealth as an excuse to bully and
misbehave. Elisa Benton, a dance-hall
singer, is loved by Court and intensely
disliked by Gard. When Court is robbed
and murdered, Gard is bent on personal
vengeance, while Elisa seems to be pro¬
tecting the criminals from his wrath.
