Texans Walk Proud

Their names were on the bullets!Larry and Stretch, the West's toughest trouble-shooters, came to Tyson City to solve a mystery, but their short stay almost became permanent residency-on Boot Hill.Somebody wanted them dead. They didn't know who. They didn't know why. Riflemen sniped at them from the windswept peaks of the high country. A knife was hurled through an open window to miss Stretch Emerson by mere inches. And Larry Valentine was trapped in a burning shack by anonymous assassins.The Texans had never run from a fight, and never would. They stayed to protect the beautiful Margo Farnol, to bedevil the confused Sheriff Jennings and to trigger a showdown with the local lawless-Lone Star style!
