I received a free electronic copy of this western novel from Netgalley, Chuck Mason, and Endeavour Press - Pioneering Press in exchange for an honest review. thank you all, for sharing your hard work with me. This book was copyrighted and first printed in 1966 by John Gresham Limited.
I love that Endeavour press is re-cycling some of the old western novels from the 1960's. Although most are not politically correct they are interesting tales told well, and I appreciate having access to the re-run. Back Trail features U.S. Deputy Marshal Chick Butler, returning to Hard Rock twenty years after he was thrown out of town a penniless teen by the father of his girl, Jane Farrell. Chick is there to help the local law clear up several stage robbery's and some random rustling. Imagine his surprise when the first stranger he meets in Hard Rock turns out to be his own - surprise - son.
And it goes downhill, from there.
A fast read, Back Trail is a great way to spend an afternoon visiting the past.
