The Quest of Lee Garrison

THE ELUSIVE GRAY MUSTANG

As a youth, Lee Garrison pored over medieval quest stories, especially those about the quest for the Holy Grail. As a young man, working as a line rider on a great ranch in the Southwest, Lee still spent hours reading tales of the knights of the Round Table. His life would never be the same, though, after a dying Indian stumbled into his line shack. The Indian had traveled hundreds of miles in search of the magnificent gray mustang known as Moonshine. After burying the Indian, Lee caught a glimpse of the mustang and took to the trail himself. The chase would lead him across thousands of miles of plains, deserts, and rivers, and before his quest had ended, Lee Garrison would learn the meaning of hope and the cost of dreams. And he would be forced to make a terrible, shattering decision—a decision that might destroy him.

Both of these pulp Western novels deal with protagonists on a quest. In Brand's 1923 story, cowpoke Lee Garrison sets out to find and capture a wild horse he views on the plains. His journey, however, ultimately involves more than he bargained for. Although it has arguably one of the worst titles ever, Coburn's 1937 story is far more serious, as its hero, Galt Magrath, packs his Bible and six-gun and goes in search of the men who murdered his preacher father. Also new in the "Gunsmoke" series is T.V. Olsen's Lonesome Gun (ISBN 0-7540-8103-6) and Lee Hoffman's Wiley's Move (0-7540-8104-4).
