| Plot Summary of Silver Canyon |
|---|
"Matt Brennan had been a wanderer. Like so many trail hardened men in the west, he was never in one place for very long. Then he saw the girl, the one girl for him. At that moment Brennan knew that he needed to settle down, plant some roots and go courting. In doing so, he planted himself right into the middle of a range war. Before he had been in town a month, he had made numerous enemies and his one friend had died at his feet. Also, Morgan Park, a mean-spirited brute was out to win Brennan's girl for himself. There was also something else... a bigger danger than Brennan had foreseen. He was going to have to survive the range war and bring all sides together if he wanted to live."
Lucy Johnson, Resident Scholar
