Montana Abbott 6

Montana had bought some grazing land on the wide-open plains of his home state. All he needed now was to find a herd of good beef cattleshort of horn, heavy with meatand settle in for the good life of a ranching man. So with a poke of gold in his saddle bags, Montana headed out across the barren, sun-baked tablelandtoward the lush, green valleys of the West.But he hadn't gotten far before he was staring down the muzzle of a forty-fivecentered on his chest at point-blank range. It was the gun of a hardcase outlaw, a desperate man with enemies at his backand he needed Montana's horse for the long trail ahead.That was only the start of his troublesfor Montana was heading into land claimed by one of the most ruthless cattle barons in the whole western Territory. Before he knew it, Montana was being stalked by a hard-bitten crew of killers. And now that he'd lost his horse, it was a sure bet he'd lose his life.
