Passin' Through
Passin' Through by Louis L'Amour
A Western tale of danger and adventure.
The narrator stops for a drink, and after a local man picks a fight and dies, he has to escape when the man's brothers leave him to hang. He makes it to a ranch where two women are. Some men are trying to run them off. He helps.
A complication ensues. The tale runs through many perils, concerning a known killer, a blue roan horse, paths through the wild to avoid going the same way twice, a suggestion that a man leave and take the trouble he brought with him away, and more.
There are two allusions to the author's Sackett series, one more subtle than the other.
