cameron+Dark+Canyon

I rate this book 8/10. My favourite part of this book is when the Coburn gang give him money to start a new “legal” life. My favourite Character would be the local Sheriff, Ed Larsen. He suspected Riley was an outlaw, and gave him a chance. There are four members of the Coburn gang, Jim Coburn (Leader), Kehoe, Weaver, and Parrish. One of Kehoe’s great grand children died in Korea taking 23 dead Chinese with him when he ran out of ammo. He had a BAR and eight grenades. I don’t really think that any one else in this class would like this book as it was written over 50 years ago.

 * Dark Canyon is staged in the old west times of cowboys and Indians. It is about w**hen Gaylord Riley left the outlawed Coburn gang. He found a place at the bottom of the Sweet Alice Hills, along the outlaw trail that wasn’t to far away from an old drifter’s town called Rimrock. He worked hard and built a cabin, gathered a herd of whitehead cattle, and fell in love with Marie Shattuck. But when he is confronted with false accusations of rustling cattle and murder, Gaylord Riley is forced to defend his new legal way of life. Outnumbered and facing a murder party, Riley is surprised when his old friends return to lend him a hand. But how can they help him and keep themselves out of jail? With the sheriff of Rimrock already suspicious of Riley, the Coburn gang will have to plan well and move fast. But that won’t be a problem. Their reputation was built by doing that.
