But Dawson had troubles of his own. Old and crippled, betrayed by his own hands, he was in danger of losing his ranch through the raids of Price Mabry's rustlers. When Dawson made a desperate appeal for help, Stagmire knew it was time to stop running and to fight for the man who had taken him in. He strapped on Dawson's cold and rode into Castle City, ready to face down Mabry or any other gunslick who got in his way - and to hell with the odds! Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
