Kilkenny appears again, trying to make a home in the mountains, making friends, and remaining incognito. But King Bill Hale thinks he's entitled to all the land, and is determined to drive out the "nesters." Lance's old love, Nita, in on hand, too - and is determined to make Lance settle down this

Interesting and satisfying continuation of the Kilkenny series. I like Lance Kilkenny, a more complex character than one expects in this genre. The plot has been done before, cattle king vs. nesters, but for me the human interactions makes this a better than average tale by L'Amour.
