Ernest Haycox Whispering Range

Annotation

When ranchers of Sundown formed a vigilante group to stamp out rustling, owner of the D Slash outfit, Dave Denver, refused to join. He wanted the rustling stopped as much as anyone, but there was no real evidence pointing to the Redmain gang. Besides, Denver hated mob rule. But when Denver's best friend was killed in an outlaw trap, he led the D Slash to a war that ended up in Sundown where Denver and his men, Colts flaming in their fists, smashed Redmain's attempt to burn and sack the entire town.Ernest Haycox, considered the dean among authors of Western fiction, also wrote Long Storm, Sundown Jim and The Wild Bunch.
