Paced like a mustang and charged with strong human interest, this yarn will click with those who like Westerns high, wide, and handsome. It is the story of a fight for cattle land and water, for wire fence, and for the lives of man and beast.
After many years away, the young man named Idaho returns to the ranchlands of his youth only to find himself in the midst of a raging range war. The external conflict mirrors his inner struggles as he resolves to bring peace to his forgotten home, gain the respect of the father who abandoned him, and win the hand of his childhood sweetheart.
Originally published in 1933 and the basis for the early classic Western movie, The Idaho Kid, Idaho remains a best-seller nearly a hundred years later.
