In this first of four classic frontier novels, Louis L'Amour
adds his own special brand to the life and adventures of one of
America's favorite fictional cowboys, Hopalong Cassidy. In The
Rustlers of West Fork, the quick-thinking, fast-shooting cowpuncher
heads west to deliver a fortune in bank notes to his old friend,
Dick Jordan. When he arrives at the Circle J, he discovers that
the rancher and his daughter, Pam, are being held prisoner by
a desperate band of outlaws led by the ruthless Avery Sparr and
his partner Arnold Soper. Even if Hopalong Cassidy can free Jordan
and Pam, he will have to lead them across rough and untamed Apache
country, stalked by the outlaws who have vowed to gun him down.
But Hopalong is no stranger to trouble, and before his guns or
his temper cool, he's determines to round up Sparr and his gang
and bring the outlaws to justice ... dead or alive! This classic
tale of pursuit and survival is vintage L'Amour and adds new life
and luster to the legend of Hopalong Cassidy.
NOTE: In the spring and summer of 1950, Louis L'Amour
wrote four stories about Hopalong Cassidy. He used the pen name
Tex Burns and the books were commissioned by Doubleday's Double
D Western imprint. The Rustlers of West Fork, Trail
to Seven Pines, Riders of High Rock and Trouble
Shooter were the first four novels that he had ever published.
But for the next thirty-eight years he denied that
he had ever written any of them.
