The Old "Yaller" Shirt
By Humphreys, Ray
Thad Sowers, a towering bronco buster with the John O'Day Traveling Rodeo Circus, faces dismissal for refusing to discard his faded yellow silk shirt—a gift from June O'Day, the boss's daughter. When a deadly gray outlaw is brought in to be ridden, Thad risks everything to prove his honor, riding through broken bones and brutal punishment. In the dust and danger of the arena, loyalty, love, and courage collide in a test that will change his life forever.
