Where the Long Grass Blows
Louis L'Amour
Canavan drifted down the valley and into a shooting war. The big ranchers were rustlers turned repectable. Now they were fighting with each other. In the middle was a small spread and a woman. Canavan had a mind to stay so he staked a claim. And when the gun hands were gone he'd have everything he wanted-the land, the water. . .and the woman.
