Publisher's Synopsis
In The Texas Gun, escaped convict Pete McGrath's arrival is the final straw in a growing dispute between cowboys and sheep herders. Sheep were on the move, and the tempers of hard-pressed cowmen were on the rise. Drought had hit them hard, losses were high, and being sheeped out would ruin them completely. For reasons of their own, the U.S. Forestry Service wanted trouble stirred up between the beef riders and the mutton punchers. They figured it would force Congress to give them what they were after. And, they thought they had their trouble-maker in the escaped killer, Pete McGrath. Raising Cain came easy to McGrath - gun battles, fist fights, grass-burning and hoorawing honest folks were second nature to him. But this time even McGrath didn't realise just how much hell-raising would be needed to take him off the Foresters' hook.
