The Heart of the Range. William Patterson White

The Heart of the Range is an exciting western novel by William Patterson White. White was famous for writing books such as The Owner of the Lazy D, Paradise Bend, Hidden Trails, and The Rider of Golden Bar. "It was a warm summer morning in the town of Farewell. Save a dozen horses tied to the hitching-rail in front of various saloons and the Blue Pigeon Store and Bill Lainey, the fat landlord of the hotel, who sat snoring in a reinforced telegraph chair on the sidewalk in the shade of his wooden awning, Main Street was a howling wilderness."
