The Lone Star Ranger Summary
| It may seem strange to you that out of all the stories I heard on the Rio Grande I should choose as first that of Buck Duane—outlaw and gunman. |

It may seem strange to you that out of all the stories I heard on the Rio Grande I should choose as first that of Buck Duane - outlaw and gunman.

|
| Zane Grey's gritty tales of law and disorder have earned him the reputation of a great American storyteller. Buck Duane was accused of every unsolved crime in the territory. He was just too busy ducking lead to clear his name. But he sees his chance when he rides out alone to bring in the vicious Cheseldine gang. |
|
|
| Buck becomes a Texas outlaw when he kills a man in self-defense. His troubles don’t end there, though. When he is seen trying to rescue a young girl being held prisoner in Mexico, he incurs the anger of her captors. With both the good and the bad on his back, Buck escapes to solitude. When the captain of rangers obtains a pardon for him, he makes Buck take an oath to fight on the side of the law from that point forward. |

| It may seem strange to you that out of all the stories I heard on the Rio Grande I should choose as first that of Buck Duane - outlaw and gunman. But, indeed, Ranger Coffee's story of the last of the Duanes has haunted me, and I have given full rein to imagination and have retold it in my own way. It deals with the old law - the old border days-therefore it is better first. Soon, perchance, I shall have the pleasure of writing of the border of to-day, which in Joe Sitter's laconic speech, "Shore is 'most as bad an' wild as ever!" In the North and East there is a popular idea that the frontier of the West is a thing long past, and rememb-ered now only in stories. As I think of this I remember Ranger Sitter when he made that remark, while he grimly stroked an unhealed bullet wound. And I remember the giant Vaughn, that typical son of stalwart Texas, sitting there quietly with bandaged head, his thoughtful eye boding ill to the outlaw who had ambushed him. Only a few months have passed since then - when I had my memorable sojourn with you - and yet, in that short time, Russell and Moore have crossed the Divide, like Rangers. |

|
| That night Duane was not troubled by ghosts haunting his waking and sleeping hours. He awoke feeling bright and eager, and grateful to Euchre for having put something worth while into his mind. During breakfast, however, he was unusually thoughtful, working over the idea of how much or how little he would confide in the outlaw. He was aware of Euchre's scrutiny. |
|
|
| In 1870's Texas, Buck Duane becomes an outlaw, after killing a man in self-defense. A classic western by the inventor and master of the genre. |
