  • The Bandit of Hell's Bend

    Edgar Rice Burroughs

    Paperback (The Large Print Book Company, June 15, 2014)
    In addition to his better-known Tarzan books, Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote four westerns and this tale of character overcoming betrayal for love is the best. Bull was foreman of the Bar Y Ranch until Hal Colby got him drunk and lost him his job. Worse, Colby was after Diana Henders, the love of his life, and did little to keep people from suspecting that Bull was the stage robbing Black Coyote. Despite his setbacks, Bull is loyal to Diana and when a slick lawyer tries to cheat her out of the ranch, it is Bull who intervenes to save not only her inheritance but also her life.
