Where the Long Grass Blows

by Louis L’Amour

First published 1976

Amazon
2.5(5)

Bill Canavan rides into a western valley hoping to establish a ranch of his own. By staking claims to three important water holes he immediately threatens men who have treated access to land and water as their private preserve, and the surrounding ranchers begin to regard the newcomer as an enemy.

The most dangerous is Star Levitt, a wealthy cattleman steadily increasing his holdings while preparing to marry Dixie Venable. After Bill witnesses a suspicious meeting between riders from supposedly hostile ranches, he begins to suspect that the local range war is being manipulated. Discovering what Levitt wants, and whether Dixie is acting freely, may be the only way for Bill to survive long enough to hold his claim.
