COYOTE KID

by Lynn Bronson ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 5, 1951

The cattle-sheep wars of the Northwest and the career of cattle baron, Pete French, form the background for the story of a white boy raised as an Indian who went back to his own people. Ty Worden, brought up by the Paiute Indians, and named ""Coyote Kid"" because he had tamed a young coyote, was strongly opposed, as were the Indians, white homesteaders, and shpmen, to the ""fencing in"" tactics of Pete French, who bought out and ran out men to make way for his cattle herds. But Ty, after being captured and sponsored by French's Mexican friend, Tebo, comes to learn the white men's ways, and also to admire and join forces with mighty Pete French. Our sympathies were all with the Indians and homesteaders, but this is a reliable novel of the Old West which covers some virgin territory.
