Tharon, the beautiful and spirited daughter of rancher Jim Last, rides and shoots like a man, but is desired by all the men of the idyllic Lost Valley, including the local top man, bully and cattle rustler, Buck Courtrey. After her father's murder, Tharon takes the law into her own hands, organising the local settlers to fight back against Courtrey's thugs; but the arrival of a stranger from the US Forest Service could change everything... This carefully hand-edited version of Vingie E. Roe's Western classic includes all the original illustrations by Frank Tenney Johnson.

Mercy! shrieked little Francette, her red-rose face aghast, "he will begin before I can bring the help!" Like a flash of flame the maid in her crimson skirt shot up the main way of Fort de Seviere to where the factory lay asleep in the warm spring sun. On its log step, pipe in mouth, young Anders McElroy leaned against the jamb and looked smilingly out upon his settlement. Peace lay softly upon it, from the waters of the small stream to the east where nine canoes lay bottom up upon the pebbly shore, to the great dark wall of the forest shouldering near on three sides. To him ran little Francette, light on her moccasined feet as the wind in the tender pine-tops, her eloquent small hands outstretched and clutching at his sleeve audaciously.
