Charles Alan Seltzer and Charles Alden Seltzer

A young Easterner, Hollis, a newspaper reporter, arrives in a small western town, to inherit his father’s ranch and his newspaper. He discovers that the town and the entire county are controlled by an unscrupulous cattleman, Dunlavey. This guy is a law unto himself, stealing cattle from his neighbors, who are powerless to defend themselves because he also owns the local sheriff.

One man’s determination against all odds...some really bad cowboys who make trouble at the moment in time when law must inevitably come to a lawless land...the quality of loyalty is strong in this story and lift romance to sweeten the pot....recommend....
All-around Intriguing Tale





A LibriVox Listener
The characters and plot are very well developed and the reader does an excellent job. I highly recommend this one!

Thank you Richard for your always easy listening. Western story with a tinge of romance.

A good test of a good book is when the reader doesn't want it to end.
reader worth getting used to





Ms. Elizabeth
very good





John Price
this is a VERY GOOD STORY, well written, well narrated, it's a western and there is not a lot of ways to alter western novels but this one is very well done without as many derogatory slurs as most older novels seem to have so flamboyantly used, in fact I would say this narrative would be suitable for listening to while traveling with younger ears listening, less violence and racially bias then most novels of it's era.. very good choice. thank you to everybody involved in getting this story to my ears.
Rest In Peace Richard! 😢

Only recently, I learned of the passing of Richard Kilmer at 80 years of age. He will be sorely missed by his many LibriVox followers, but fortunately he left us with hundreds, if not, thousands of hours of listening pleasure. Rest In Peace, my friend. 🙏🏻 March 2023
Excellent!

Excellent rendition of a most excellent story, with one unforgettable poem! You'll have to experience this story to obtain the depth of the poem, around which the story is woven!
