Old John Sunblade had ruined many men to build his vast rangeland empire. I hated him. He was a man without mercy and love. And, he had tried to destroy me as he had the others. Now, he was helpless, and his enemies were closing in like a pack of ravening wolves. I hated him, but I had to try to save him. I was his son.

This review is from: Fighting Rawhide (Sagebrush Westerns) (Hardcover)

"Fighting Rawhide" is a classic western novel pitting ranchers against farmers. The year is 1872 and Old John Sunblade means to defend his New Mexico cattle empire against the incursions of 'nesters'. A ruthless man with the law on his side, only his son Dane can stand up to his father and put an end to the feud, save the ranch, and marry the girl of his dreams. Lewis B. Patten is a gifted storyteller and a master of the western genre. Originally published in 1958 under the title "Sunblade", and then a year later in 1959 published again as "Fighting Rawhide", this large print edition is part of the outstanding 'Sagebrush' western series published by Ulverscroft Large Print and is enthusiastically recommended for all western fans and community library large print collections for those patrons who could benefit from the format.
