Born to the Brand

BEST OF THE BEST

D.B. Newton is the author of more than seventy Western novels and many equally classic stories. He was one of the founding members of the Western Writers of America and a story consultant for such legendary television shows as Wagon Train. This volume collects six of his finest stories and short novels, notable for their characterization, humanity, and adventure. Included is the title story, in which young Bud Jenkins discovers a dead body and is befriended by the dead man’s partner. Bud will soon learn, however, that as in so many of Newton’s tales, nothing in the frontier West was ever simple—or what it seemed.
