Powerful Western women feature as importantly as the menfolk here, including a cattle buyer's daughter who can hold her own with any man on the trail, a renowned lady outlaw who rules her gang with her gun, and judge's daughter who is determined to end local mob rule, as "the day of the gun is almost over." You will meet characters whose devotions and decisions enthrall you long after you put the book down. Imbued with an adventurous spirit, Hard Ride is filled with many heartfelt glimpses into the authentic experience of the American West.

I enjoyed this book very, very much. There are some real good stories about the old West and the newer West in this volume. All of them first saw light in the numerous magazines which published "western" during the 1950's. Such as Ranch Romances, Western Romances, Leading Western, Western Novel and Short Stories, and Thrilling Ranch Stories. That in no way lessen their value and appeal for me, as I like these kinds of stories. I am a "traditionalist" when it comes to what westerns I read. And good romance is necessary....Elmer Kelton cut his teeth and learned his trade writing short stories. Here he learned how to write; and what the reader wanted to read. These stories have characters such as a rodeo clown, a strong woman, and bandits. It doesn't get much better.
