Tex: A Hopalong Cassidy Novel

Tex Ewalt was educated before he came west and can quote Shakespeare, philosophy, and the Bible, which spices up his conversation some. He’s gotten restless again and hopes to hook up with Hopalong Cassidy and Red Connors. He takes the train south to the mining town of Windsor, Kansas, and decides to stay a while and make some money playing poker.
Windsor, though, is run by Gus Williams, an old enemy. Williams, often referred to as Muttonhead, had been a bully, a sure-thing gambler, herd trimmer, and cattle thief in a small way, but he had been only a petty pilferer of hoofed property, for his streak of caution was well developed. Tex had not seen him - or heard of him - for twenty years, never since he had shot a gun out of Williams’ hand and beat him up in a corner of his own saloon.
Introducing himself as Tex Jones, Tex plans to have a little fun at Williams’ expense before the man discovers who he really is. The chaos that ensues leads to a fight between the miners and the railroad - and more than one gunfight.
