AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A Texan cowboy loves a spirited lady of Texan and Mexican blood but her guardian threatens to disown her if she marries against his will and the cowboy's money is lost in his uncle's financial failure. He goes to Colorado to hunt for gold with a handsome fellow Texan who is in league with the girl's guardian to double-cross the cowboy. A hard and dangerous ride on a stolen horse dressed in men's attire enables the lady - actually the cowboy's wife of a year - to save him from his companion's plot to ruin him. (PB)
