I like this one because the plot is a little different. A rancher is trying to protect his land from a rogue businessman who wants to log off all the timber. There's some environmental sensibility which one doesn't expect in a Western, as the rancher is aware that cutting all the trees would ruin the land for the future. The businessman doesn't care about the future, but is only interested in short-term profit. As always, L'Amour is good at description and he treats the women in his stories with respect. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
