| Publisher Description: THREE OF THE BEST The novels and stories of Les Savage, Jr. have always been famous for their excitement, style, and historical accuracy. But this accuracy frequently ran afoul of editors in the 1950s. Only now is Savage's work finally being restored and presented in all its original glory. Finally, the realisim, the humanity, and the honesty of his classic tales are allowed to shine through. The volume collects three of Savage's greatest tales, including the title novella, a brilliant account of a cursed basin where the mineral deposits look like blood, and where treachery has wiped out all the residents...except one. This trio opens with "Plunder Trail," the story of a wagon trail that splits at a fork on the Oregon Trail. In "The Brand of Penasco," Scorpian finds herself in the town of Oro Peso without a horse. In "The Shadow in Renegade Basin," the Shane brothers build a housestead, ignoring an age-old curse. |
