Synopsis

Del Rockwall and Tie Taylor had come up from Texas to trap wild horses in the Hellgate Strip of Montana. Rockwall is on a rocky ridge when he spots a breathtaking blue stallion -- the most beautiful animal he's ever seen.

Three visitors arrive. The first is beautiful Aldis Spain who has a hard side to her. Then Kenny Graves and Tony Laroque show up to warn Rockwall and Taylor that the Hellgate Strip is off limits to wild horse hunters.

When Taylor is hurt, he's blissful to be doctored by Jack Jennings, who happens to be Aldis's uncle -- until he learns that the price of the doctoring is the capture of the blue roan.

About this title

From Booklist:

First published in a different form in 1949, this western by the underrated (or perhaps simply insufficiently known) Savage is a rough-and-tumble story about a couple of Texas cowboys, Del and Tie, who come to Montana to rope wild horses. It's an episodic tale that puts our two heroes in harm's way a fistful of times, finds them vying for the attention of a beautiful woman, and paints a wild, splashy picture of the Old West. The book was made into a movie in 1954, starring Joel McCrae, and it's easy to see why: Savage writes vividly, his prose tight, dramatic, and visually evocative. Lot of fun for old-school western fans. David Pitt
