Blood on the Saddle — Dan Cushman

When John Gannaway is murdered, Billy Buttons is accused of the crime. Billy is also accused by the Omaha & Montana Cattle Company of being a cattle thief and a forger of legal documents. To the surprise of his mother and brother, Billy shows up at the home ranch and, despite all these charges, declares that he is going to ride into the city of Arlington and turn himself in. The trial of Billy Buttons is grippingly dramatic from beginning right through to the wholly unpredictable conclusion. *First Edition Western
