- Baker & Taylor
Softspoken cowboy Tom Chantry is forced into an uneasy alliance with ruthless gunslinger French Williams as the two join forces to drive a herd of cattle north to Dodge. Reissue. - Baker & Taylor
Cowboys and outlaws who think he is a coward challenge Tom Chantry, who has returned to the West on a cattle buying mission - Random House, Inc.
When Tom Chantry comes west to buy cattle, he quickly runs into trouble. During a drunken scuffle in a bar, Dutch Akin challenges Chantry to a gunfight. Leaving town rather than face Akin, Chantry is quickly branded a coward.
Later, when hiring men to take his herd to the railroad, Chantry faces a dilemma: No one wants to make the long, dangerous ride with a leader of questionable courage. So when French Williams, a shrewd and ruthless cattleman, makes Chantry an offer, Tom reluctantly accepts his unusual terms: Tom must remain with the drive from start to finish. If he fails to do so, the entire herd will belong to French.
Tom quickly learns that life is not going to be made easy for him. The first man French hires is Dutch Akin.
