The Texan

When the gunplay started the five Texans were in there, fighting to a man. And when the gunsmoke cleared, they were the ones still on their feet, If you were lucky enough to be their friend you were a friend for life. If, though, you made yourself their enemy, you might as well start digging your own grave. Because if you called down one of them, you called down all five. That was the way things were with the legendary Floating Outfit. J.T. Edson brings to life the fierce and often bloody struggles of untamed West. His colorful characters are linked together by the binding power of the spirit of adventure -- and hard work -- that eventually won the West. With more than 25 million copies of his novels in print, J.T. Edson has proven to be one of the finest craftsmen of Western storytelling in our time. J.T. Edson describes a Floating Outfit as a group of cowhands who travel the outer sections of ranchland dealing with problems that occur far from the main house. Dusty Fog, The Ysabel Kid and Mark Counter make up the Floating Outfit at the OD Connected Ranch, and they travel far and wide punching cows and righting wrongs in the old West.
