Rock Bannon rode a steel-dust stallion that was as stubborn and leather-tough as he was. Scouting for a wagon train full of high hopes, Rock saved the Eastern-bred settlers from a brutal Indian attack. But they paid him back with scorn when he advised against following a fast-talker named Morton Harper. Rock Bannon followed no man, so he left the settlers to their promised milk and honey—until they realized their mistake and had no one else to turn to. That’s when Rock showed them what a real man was made of, and, with a smoking rifle, fought to put down Harper’s outlaw crew and to make peace in the virgin land that he called his home.
