Zane Grey

Large Print Book Company, Mar 15, 2013 - Fiction - 274 pages

Texas was a raw and violent state, and the Texas Rangers were charged with bringing law and order to lawless areas. Outnumbered a thousand to one, the Rangers fought against a complete breakdown of law and order, often paying for peace with their lives. One county in particular held out against the Rangers efforts and in to this valley of death rode Ranger Vaughn Steele, who, with the help of undercover Ranger Russ Sittell, was determined to wipe out the rustlers of Pecos County. What neither Steele nor Sittell anticipated was how two young women would make their task both more difficult and infinitely more rewarding.
