Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Donna

There's a reason Louis L'Amour disavowed writing this novel. It's obviously a beginner's effort. It is a Hopalong Cassidy novel his family republished after his death. It captures the stereotypical mystique of the old west. I still maintain I was born in the right century.......more

My first Louis L'Amour novel was picked from the shelves of the library at the retirement community that my parents winter at in Florida every year. It seemed an appropriate setting for reading my first book by my grandfather's favorite author. That book was The Trail to Crazy Man, and I loved it. I......more

Goodreads review by Jay

L'Amour would not admit he wrote this Hopalong Cassidy book while he was alive because he felt that it was just fulfilling a contract. He wrote it under a pen name and never accepted it as his work. He did not create the character and he was told who many of the characters would be. Even though he d......more
