by W. C. Tuttle
In the booming cow town of Chongo, the arrival of the railroad has brought gambling houses, rival cattlemen, and a darker edge to life in Silver River Valley. When good-natured cowboy Soapy Weed escorts Yvonne LeClere to her first dance since returning from school, a night of romance and rivalry quickly turns dangerous. W. C. Tuttle’s classic Western blends frontier humor, open-range intrigue, and a murder mystery shadowed by old grudges and new ambitions.
