Gun ChanceGun Chance

"Five years ago, Nick Marquis and other cattlemen in the Snake and Humboldt ranges had been forced to acknowledge they could not keep sheep out of so vast a public domain. After bitter, useless fighting, an uneasy arrangement had been made to coexist with the sheepmen. But now a ruthless outsider was threatening the peace by encouraging the sheepmen to run the cattlemen out, and the cattlemen were looking to Nick to be their leader in the fight. 'We'll give you killers, mister ... ' That was what they promised Nick Marquis when they made him swear by his bloody sixes to bring peace to this bullet-torn range: killers to ride with him, side with him, or gun him down if they must! And Nick took an oath to fight where others died, win where others lost, and live where death rode each man's saddle, for, more than life itself, he needed this last gun chance."--
