| Publisher Description: Jim Meeker came down from Montana to run Texas cattle--only to find that Hopalong Cassidy's Bar-20 ran the water. So when a trio of snake-mean rustlers started themselves a cattle war, the powder was primed, the guns cocked, and Hopalong was smack in the middle. So it's friend against friend, brother against brother, gun against blazing gun. Time's running out, and the range is red with blood. Hopalong Cassidy is a fictional cowboy hero created in 1904 by the author Clarence E. Mulford, who wrote a series of popular short stories and twenty-eight novels based on the character. In his early writings, Mulford portrayed the character as rude, dangerous, and rough-talking. Beginning in 1935, the character-as played by movie actor William Boyd in films adapted from Mulford's books-was transformed into a clean-cut on-screen hero. A total of sixty-six immensely popular films were released. |
