This is a story by Louis L’Amour in a collection of stories. Milt Cogar is a horse tamer and his string of broken horses is just too much temptation for Dan Spencer who is the leader of this rustler’s town. Mesquite has a few good men but they are under the belief that they are weak and unable to stand up to the bad element and its leader.
A girl admires his horses but is fearful of any contact because Dan Spencer has told everyone that she is her property and she can’t leave town or be sociable with anyone else. Milt Cogar offers to help her get away. She accepts the offer and every thing comes to a head.
This is a short read with particular points as in all westerns. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to all western readers. I feel that Louis L’Amour is one of the best storytellers of his generation.
