Horseman — J.P.S. Brown

Carrying on his family's rough-and-ready tradition, Ben Cowden has ridden into manhood the hard way. After resolving a bitter blood feud with the Briggs clan, the eldest Cowden son expects the family stock will finally be free to graze the Arizona range. But riding back from Apache-controlled badlands with the bodies of his enemies over his saddle, Ben is crossed by a crooked lawman accusing him of cattle theft - and murder! Now A.B. Cowden, patriarch of the Cowden clan, his strong, capable wife, their resourceful sons and daughters launch themselves into a full-scale range war to save their ranch - and Ben's neck - from any and all who dared to drive them from their hard-won land.
