Hangtown Creek (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798227524478)

The majestic landscapes of Brett Harte's California unite with Larry McMurtry's epic old west realism in an explosion of love, lust and betrayal that comes to a powerful climax along a beautiful stream, home to the largest strike in the mines, where a burning barn ignites the passion of a gold rush boom town and, in one dark night of revenge, earns that stream the name it bears to this day.
