Description
Collected in book form are the completely restored texts of three of Louis L'Amour's finest Western stories.
In _Mistakes Can Kill You_, we meet Johnny O'Day, who has had to make his way in a man's world since he was a boy. Half dead from pneumonia, he was taken in and nursed back to health by Joe Redlin and his wife. Their natural son, Sam, harboured plenty of resentment toward the kid. But now, Sam's in big trouble and Johnny may be the only person who can come between him and a pair of gunmen.
Twenty-seven, broke, and armed, Ross Haney is _The Rider of the Ruby Hills_. Ross thinks he might be able to settle down and make a good life for himself here. But the owners of the two biggest spreads are participants in a feud that promises to destroy Ruby Hills. Ross may have been alone when he arrived in town, but now he has allies and plans . . .
Krag Moran rides for rancher Carol Duchin in the title story _The Man From Battle Flat_. With the threat of a range way between ranchers and nesters, the town is divided. Trouble comes to a head when Bush Leason shoots Shorty Grimes in the back. Now, Krag is sitting in front of the Palace Saloon, and Bush knows exactly why he's there.
