Show LOCAL AUTHOR WRITES NEW HIT Frank C. Robertson, local author au-thor who is winning considerable prominence in the literary world with his recent stories of the west, has another book, "Branded Men" just off the press. This book is receiving much favorable coment as have Mr. Rooertson's other works. It will doubtless find a prominent place in western fiction libraries and be widely read by western fiction readers. The story runs as follows: Tricked by the man he thinks is his father into helping his supposed sup-posed half-brother break jail to prevent a hanging. Buck McKin-ley McKin-ley finds himself a fugitive from justice with a price on his head. Aware that he must give up forever for-ever his ranch in Dakota, and the girl he hoped to marry, Buck with his daring, dashing half-brother, Nebraska Slim rides into a remote re-mote region in southern Utah. Their adventures begin in the drab cow town of Placid, whose colorful color-ful residents include "Lord" Teas-dale, Teas-dale, a wealthy expatriated Englishman, Eng-lishman, his niece, Wanda Little-field; Little-field; his manager, Julian Kamp; and a young cattle foreman, Walt McGregor. Buck's adventures are many, and in the end his name is cleared and it is once more possible for him to return to his home and to live his own romance. |
