2.5(5)

Set in Montana Territory in the later nineteenth century, Barnabus Pike takes work in isolated cattle country with boxer Eddie Holt and becomes involved in the troubles of immigrant settlers whose land and safety are threatened.

Against the historical background of Montana Territory Settlement and Statehood, L’Amour builds the story around land, work, violence, loyalty and the uncertainty of frontier life. His characters survive by reading landscape and people carefully, and the action is grounded in the practical realities of travel, work, weapons, distance and local authority.
