His Brother's Debt

Cattle rancher Ben Kerr wants Jim and Jack Casady's prime farmland real bad. He's offered them good money, but they won't sell. When the Casady brothers find Kerr's cattle grazing on their land, surrounded by broken fences, anger rises up like bile in Jack Casady's gut and tempers flare.

As Jack rushes up from behind to warn Jim of an impending ambush by Kerr and his cronies, he's mistakenly shot by his own brother. Jim, devastated by his devastated by his mistake, heads for the hills to do some soul-searching, haunted by the vision of the brother he'd gunned down.

But Jim finds something even better than solitude to chase away his grief on his journey. He discovers that sometimes it takes more courage to walk away from a fight than to draw, and that maybe, just maybe, the best payback he could give his brother is to start living his own life again.

His books remain popular and most have gone through multiple printings.

Reviews

[Laur]

A very short story which was terribly underdeveloped with the past barely explained and with no change or chance of a future. This was a complete miss.

[Robert]

Reminds me of the song, Coward of the county by Kenny Rodgers, I liked the story but the audio book was acted by a person that sounded like Radar Oreilly from M.A.S.H. trying to do a John Wayne impression, It was a good story but the voices were a little distracting, Maybe best to just read.

[Cindy B.]

Exciting western adventure by an American classics writer. Very well narrated Tom Werner.
