Here is a rich and serious novel of the violent West. Full of the
authentic sounds and colors of Wyoming cattle country in the late
nineteenth century, it tells the true story of a long-vanished
time--the era of the cowhands and the bloody Johnson County range
wars.Riders of Judgment centers on the three Hammett brothers and
their cousin Rosemary, whom all three love. To the oldest brother,
Cain, falls the lot of avenging the murder of his father,
grandfather, and brother. Cain--who is in a sense a cowboy
Hamlet--is torn by conflicts within himself. He desires peace yet
is forced to wear a gun. He is a law-abiding man by instinct yet
has to take the law into his own hands. He is loved by a woman but
rejects her because he feels unworthy of her love.Then one spring
morning the cattle barons invade his territory, and Cain's
hesitancy vanishes. One man's inner struggle becomes a fight to
turn the cattle kingdom into a free country for the small
stockman.Riders of Judgment is the final book in Frederick
Manfred's five-volume series, The Buckskin Man Tales.
