Hopalong Cassidy (Mulford)

Clarence Mulford's classic Western introduces the legendary Hopalong Cassidy and other colorful cohorts from the Bar-20 ranch. While the Hopalong Cassidy of film and TV (portrayed by the silver-haired, avuncular William Boyd) was clean-cut and polished, Mulford's original Cassidy is rough-and-tumble and foul-mouthed, thriving on brawls and gun-fights. Bar-20 depicts Cassidy as he was originally conceived, fierce and free-wheeling, and matches the cowboy hero up against Slim Travennes, the violent head of a vigilante gang. Filled with hard characters and gritty gun-play, Bar-20 is a Hopalong Cassidy story from the golden days of the Western that is not to be missed.

In Bar-20, the first Hopalong Cassidy novel by Clarence E. Mulford, Cassidy could fan a gun like a Billy the Kid... Six rounds in three seconds was his slowest time. No one in the state of Texas could beat him. Until he met Slim Travennes, head of the Sandy Creek Vigilante Committee. Slim was snake-fast. No man could go up against him and live. No man. Hoppy could stand or die. He had no other choice. None at all.

Hopalong Cassidy is an iconic western cowboy hero conceived by Clarence Mulford, but immortalized in a series of films starring William Boyd from 1935-1948. A tough-talking and violent character in the print novels, Cassidy was remade into a clean-cut hero who traveled the West with his sidekicks fighting villains who took advantage of the weak. Clarence E Mulford takes you back to the beginning by relating the stories (as told to him by Red and the boys of the BAR-20) of how Buck Peters started the BAR-20 ranch. It tells of how he picked up Hopalong Cassidy, Red Connors, Skinny Thompson, and many of the other colorful characters in this famous series.

"Keep your hands where I can see them!" Marshall Edwards has shouted at the outlaws across the bar. "The first man I see move, I'll drop." But he couldn't see everything. He couldn't see the outlaws behind him or the bullet he took in the back. But Hoppy would see them-every single one of them. You could count on it. He would hunt them down if it took him the rest of his life. He would find the man who killed his friend. Hoppy would see they paid, in Clarence E. Mulford's Bar-20 Days.
