Sundown Jim

In Sundown Jim by Ernest Haycox, one bad man is trying to move into town. It is up to Sundown Jim to fight against 50 evildoers to protect his hometown. Excerpt: «WIND and rain and summer's sun had turned the log stage station a silver gray. Coming up to the summit of Ute Pass, Jim Majors saw how small the station was against the massive background of rock and pine which, rising tier on tier, faded into the faraway snow-fields of the peak country. This was noon, with an overhead sun warming part of the small meadow, yet even then shadows from the surrounding cliffs crept toward the station, grayly staining the earth.»
