Trailin'!

Anthony Bard, a young aristocrat from the refined East, witnesses his father gunned down in cold blood. He abandons his privileged world and rides into the untamed American West, driven by a single consuming purpose: to find the man who murdered his father and make him pay. What follows is a odyssey through a frontier where law is a distant rumor and a man's worth is measured only in the speed of his gun and the weight of his resolve. Brand, the creator of the legendary Destry and the man who would later give the world Dr. Kildare, writes with a poet's feel for the harsh beauty of the desert landscape. This 1919 novel captures the dying embers of the Old West while asking a timeless question: what does a man become when he trades civilization for vengeance?
