Shadow on the Range

by Norman A. Fox, George Gross (Cover Artist)

They were of a breed that was Texas-born, horse-and-rope men, with the look of too many hours in the sadffle, quick of eye and hand with Colt's revolver. When the Texas plains had been grazed out they had spilled northward with their herds to Montana's thousand hills. They were still here but their sun was setting.

Now the range was filling up with another indelible breed of men—the nesters—who came from Ohio and Missouri and Kansas to break the sod and wring a poor living from it. But they were to make the land fruitful and push the frontier into oblivion. They were progress in denim pants; they were the inevitable.

The law said the nester had a right to be there, but the courts moved much slower than a gun. The Texas men had always fought for what was theirs—and they always would.
