About this listen
Steven Train is and has long been a thief and card sharp. He has gone by other names. He is sought out by another crook, John Ranier, with a proposal. Rainer saved a rich rancher, Patrick Comstock, from serious injury and was rewarded with an easy job, working for Comstock.
Rainer tells Steve Train that Comstock is looking for an honest man who is also adept with firearms to undertake a very dangerous and responsible mission. Comstock has asked Ranier to help find such a man. Rainier wants Train to apply for the job with the understanding that they will split evenly the money Ranier is certain will be entrusted to Train. Train agrees to make the attempt and his interview with Comstock is successful.
Many years ago Comstock convinced a friend named James Nair Cartwright to invest all of his money in oil stocks, only for the stocks to fail. Cartwright lost his investment and disappeared. Subsequently one of the oil stocks prospered and earned Cartwright $50,000. Comstock believes that Cartwright became the notorious outlaw now known as James Nair, who is a killer and almost impossible to reach. Train's job will be to find Nair and pay him the $50,000.
Train is pleased to accept the assignment, but a detective shows up who has been long trying to capture Train for crimes committed by him under various aliases. Train now must persuade Comstock that he is not the man the detective is pursuing and that he should be trusted with the mission to find James Nair. Oddly, there is the impulse in Steve Train, that should Comstock trust him, despite the detective s accusations, he will double-cross Rainier and actually try to execute faithfully what Comstock wants of him.

He was still a young man, but he'd used that handful of years effectively, building a bad reputation that spanned the West, his villainy taking different forms everywhere it took roost. Denver knew him as the Doctor; Texans called him Montana; and folks in Idaho called him Texas. On account of his youth, most everywhere else called him the Lonesome Kid.

Peter Dunstan is a big rancher who wants to become bigger, to control more land. So when he buys Dr. Henry Morgan's ranchland that has been unsuccessfully converted to farming, it is his intention to return it to open range. The only stipulation the doctor makes is that Dunstan must retain Sandy Sweyn, who has more or less been Dr. Morgan's ward. Though the man is of age, he is generally considered a half-wit, even by the doctor. Still, Sandy has a fabulous gift: He can communicate with animals.

The attacks of the huge lobo Gray Cloud have caused the remarkable price of $2,500 to be put on his head. And it falls to big Dave Reagan, considered little better than a half-wit in that part of the range, to discover the monster held fast in two of his traps. Something in the fearless animal's eyes keeps young Dave from killing the wolf. Instead Dave releases Gray Cloud, who is unable to walk, and rescues him from a prairie fire that threatens them both. Dave brings Gray Cloud home and chains him in a shed that he uses as a blacksmith shop.

In Stand Proud, one of his most controversial novels, legendary Western writer Elmer Kelton takes on a character who is not as easy to like as he is to admire. Frank Claymore is cantankerous, stubborn, and intolerant - just the qualities that make him a success as an open-range cattle rancher on the West Texas frontier.

Not What I Expected From Louis L'Amour
- By Lady M on 05-30-16
By: Louis L'Amour
This is one of my favorite Max Brand stories
and this is the first time hearing it read aloud.
I thought the reader was great but there were
a couple production problems in the audio
portion . I don't think that reflects on the
excellent reading by Mr, Menasche.
GREAT STORY
