Tall in the Saddle (Large print, Hardcover, large type edition)

Ken Rocklin's trade was cattle. He was a top hand at riding and roping and he'd read many a fading brand on the run. Rocklin arrives at the KC Ranch in Santa Inez to become its foreman, but when he finds that the owner of the ranch has been killed and that the ranch is being run by Clara Cardell and her aunt, Miss Martin, Rocklin refuses to work for them. He does agree, however, to obtain a letter from Judge Garvey proving Clara's ownership of the ranch. Rocklin arrives in Garvey's office just after Garvey has burned the letter. Now Judge Garvey has to find a way to rid himself of the nuisance Rocklin so he can get his hands on the KC. With a crooked judge, a pretty girl with a grudge, and a back-shooter on his tail, it would seem that Rocklin doesn't stand a chance. But what the vermin don't know is that in addition to being good at riding and roping, Ken Rocklin is even better at aiming and shooting.
