Michael Patrick Obanon, proud owner of a 100,000-acre spread willed to him by his father, suddenly loses his entire inheritance when a band of criminals makes false claims on the ranch. Faced with having to save his property and his people, Obanon takes a courageous stand against the renegades. Yet he soon realizes it will take far more than mere weapons to win the day.

Review
The plunging action of Six-Gun Caballero takes place on the ranch of Michael Patrick Obannon, who finds the one thousand acres he inherited from his father overrun by a band of renegades bent on keeping the land themselves. The plot pits Obannon's raw courage against seemingly unsurmountable odds as he makes a lone stand against the desparadoes. The late L. Ron Hubbard wrote hundreds of novels and short stories in the fields of science fiction, mystery, action/adventure, and westerns. Six-Gun Caballero is a classic from 1938 given new life with the narrative talents of Geoffrey Lewis. Highly recommended for all western adventure fans. --Midwest Book Review
First published in the March 1938 issue of Western Story magazine, this early Hubbard pulp novel tells the tale of a landowner who resorts to unorthodox methods to protect his land from a band of crooks. Its hero, Michael Patrick Obanon, is as quiet, cold, and methodical as another famous literary Michael (Corleone), and Hubbard does an excellent job of making us wonder just how far Obanon is willing to go. Although it has all the usual western trappings, the story goes beyond genre boundaries, telling us about a man who's forced to find out where he will draw his moral line in the sand. Hubbard gets a bit cute at times-Obanon's plan is improbably convoluted, and it comes off without a hitch-but with its solid genre prose style and ambitious theme, the story bears comparison to such notable western writers as Max Brand, T. T. Flynn, and Alan LeMay. --Book List

Experience the 'Old West'!,

This review is from: Six-Gun Caballero (Stories from the Golden Age) (Paperback)
Michael Patrick O'Banon finds himself facing serious trouble when the Gadsden Purchase moves the US border well beyond his ranch in previous Mexican territory. Hubbard takes a real example of the struggle in moving borders. Cleverly written. O'Banon pulls a few unexpected stunts which kept me wondering how he could pull out of the mess. Unexpected ending.

I am not a big western fan but I have never been disappointed by L. Ron Hubbard's story telling - ever! This was no exception and I absolutely recommend ANY book by L. Ron Hubbard!
