Summary

Del Troy is a cowman with no cows who has come a long, hard way from Texas to Flaming Canyon, the choicest range in Washington. But he dreams of his own ranch, and every long haul he make with his Conestoga wagons, brings him closer to achieving it. And just when it seems like it might come true, Bix Herrod, a greedy cattleman backed by ruthless gunmen, wants to take it all from him for his own, roaring herd. Caught in the warfare between them are a pink-eyed, albino cowboy named Whitey Crade, the gunman Fred Bolte, known for his sombrero covered with hooks, and the Roxanna Laranjo, an exotic, raven-haired blackjack dealer full of secrets.
