Novel 1956 - Silver Canyon (v5.0)

Book DescriptionMatt Brennon finds the old man as he lays dying near a spring, his body riddled with bullets. The old man leaves his ranch to Brennon, telling him never to sell, never to give up. For the first time in his life he really wants to kill, wants it so much his hands shake. Before the battle is over, Brennon gets the chance to do just that. Falsely accused of murder, he is forced to run from the law while harassing his enemies at the same time. When the shooting ends, however, his name is cleared, the ranch is his, and Moira Maclaren has consented to be his wife. This story was originally published in a shorter version in Giant western, June, 1951, under the title Riders of the dawn.
