Hopalong Cassidy & the Eagle's Brood

Hopalong Cassidy #22

by Clarence Edward Mulford

Jim Meeker came down from Montana to run Texas cattle--only to find that Hoppy's Bar-20 ran the water. So when a trio of snake-mean rustlers started themselves a cattle war, the powder was primed, the guns cocked, and Hoppy was smack in the middle.So it's friend against friend, brother against brother, gun against blazing gun. Time's running out, and the range is red with blood.

Reviews

[John · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was just ok. Very different than the old t.v. show. The synopsis about it being about a range war is wrong. Hoppy and his friend clear out a gang of outlaws from their own hideout town.

[Robert Hepple · Rating 3 out of 5]

First published in 1920, 'Hopalong Cassidy & the Eagle's Brood' finds Hopalong leading a group of lawmen to take out a gang hanging out in a remote lawless town after linking the gang with a particularly serious crime. Enjoyable, though a little muddled in places.

[M Thomas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Incorrect synopsis: Hopalong and other old-timers take out a remote hangout of particularly evil villains.
