Timber Line

No one can match Max Brand's tales of the Old West for historical accuracy, humanity, and grand adventure. Here are three of his best stories, restored from the author's original typescripts. "Above the Law" is the first Western story Brand wrote, beginning the incredible popularity that continues to this day. "One Man Posse" is one of five stories Brand wrote about the character known only as Sleeper, a man whose name disguises extraordinary endurance and ingenuity. In "Timber Line," a newcomer to the West rides into a fierce winter storm and is mistaken for a man whose bloody deeds have terrified the region.
