Five Star First Edition Westerns - Rain Valley: A Western Trio - Hardcover

In "Renegade Rifles," the hostile Apaches have attacked a wagon convoy at night, a time when traditionally the Apaches do not fight. In "Trouble Weather," the herd being driven from Montana to make up the beef ration for the local reservation has been unaccountably delayed, causing a possible uprising. Cattle thieves in the Old West were never easy to apprehend, but when, as in "Rain Valley," they are protected by a mountainous terrain, a lawman such as Burt Crownover must resort to wiliness and deception to gain secret access.

Lauran Paine, who under his own name and various pseudonyms has written over 900 books, was born in Duluth, Minnesota. At an early age, his family moved to California where his apprenticeship as a Western writer began.
