Roughshod: A Classic Western - Paperback

by Norman A. Fox (Author)

The inspiration for the 1953 Universal Pictures hit Gunsmoke-now read the novel that started it all.

Reb Kittredge rides into Sleeping Cat, Montana as hired muscle, paid to break a stubborn rancher, to squeeze the last honest man in the basin until he folds. It's dirty work. He's done it before.

Then a single cut of a deck of cards makes him the owner of the very ranch he was sent to destroy. Now the cattle boss who hired him wants him dead, the rancher's daughter is getting under his skin, and Kittredge finds himself fighting a war he started... on the wrong side.

But a man who's lived by the gun doesn't fold easy, and Reb Kittredge has never once backed down from a fight.

A gritty classic from Norman A. Fox, the frontier novelist whose work put Audie Murphy in the saddle.
