"I love Max Brand," said Stephen King. The master of horror is not alone, for the ace of horse operas continues to attract new readers. Trailin' was an early novel full of the gusto and terse, fresh style that would make Brand's reputation.
A Wild West story, Trailin' opens in Madison Square Garden, where Anthony Woodbury accepts a challenge to ride a killer horse. When the man supposed to be his father is murdered, Woodbury follows the trail of the slayer west. As he pursues the secret of his birth, he takes huge risks that only a tenderfoot would entertain. "The story undeniably grips," wrote the reviewer for Anteneum when it was first published in 19200. Shortly after, popular star of western films Tom Mix appeared in a movie version.

Max Brand is a pseudonym of Frederick Faust (1892-1944), who published more than three hundred western novels. Richard W. Etulain introduces this Bison Book edition of Trailin'. He is a professor of history at the University of New Mexico and the author (with Michael P. Malone) of The American West: A Twentieth-Century History and of A Bibliographical Guide to the Study of Western American Literature, both published by the University of Nebraska Press.
These are two of the more than 300 Western novels written by Frederick Faust under the nom de plume Max Brand. First published in 1920 and 1919, respectively, they were dubbed "fiction of the wild and wooliest" by reviewers.
