Book Synopsis

The Coming of Cassidy
Buck Peters put everything he owned into the Bar-20 and thought he could make a go of it. He did well enough, until a gang of renegade buffalo hunters went after his spread, his cattle, his life. They swore to let nothing stand in their way. Then they met a cowhand named Cassidy...Hopalong Cassidy.

Bar-20
Cassidy could fan a gun like a Billy the Kid. Six rounds in three seconds was his slowest time. No one in Texas could beat him, until he met Slim Travennes, head of the Sandy Creek Vigilante Committee. Slim was snake-fast. "Death with a little skin wrapped around it," was the way the sheriff in Waco described him. No man could go up against Slim and live. Hoppy could stand or die. He had no other choice.

"The story would not improbably take any prize which might be awarded for the maximum amount of gun play, gunpowder, murder, and sudden death." --The Springfield Republican on The Bar-20 Three
