GUN-SHY Big Jim Perrin was the richest cattle boss Oregon had ever known. With the help of frontier hard cases like Dan Nathan, he got everything he wanted without ever drawing a gun. But Nathan’s loyalties were divided between his land-hungry employer and the nesters who lost their spreads to Perrin. As much as he dreaded it, Dan knew that the greedier Perrin became, the sooner he'd have to turn h is six-shooter on the man he’d once called a friend. Classic Western Adventure by WAYNE D. OVERHOLSER Winner of the Western Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award and Three-time Winner of the Spur Award
