MEXICAN TRAIL - A vintage western story by Will Jenkins/aka Murray Leinster with an introduction by one of his daughters. This he-man's story of the cow country quivers with action from the very first page. There have been range feuds before, and there will be others hereafter; but when the Piñon and Hermosa outfits flared up, they started a young war of unexampled cruelty which threatened to exterminate every two-gun buckaroo in the country. Into this Hell's cauldron, rode Pete Gray. He was in trouble enough anyhow, but he found himself in deeper when honor demanded that he take a dead man's name and ride a dead man's horse upon a dead man's private business. Why was Marcia Brandon's heroic struggle to save her father's ranch from bankruptcy about to fail? Why was Big Neil Denham of the Border Patrol, Pete's best friend, murdered, and marks of identification removed from his body? Why were the horses of the Piñon ranch cruelly hamstrung? Why were the Hermosa men ambushed and their bunkhouse and barn fired? Why did Neil's watch turn up on the scene of these crimes? These were some of the questions that Pete Gray set out to answer. The story of how he accomplishes his purpose, how he uncovers the super-criminal behind these deeds, and how he traps him at his nefarious business, lurking like a spider across the Mexican Border, makes this a thrilling read.
