Tall in the saddle - Gordon Young

Ken Rocklin's trade was cattle. Rocklin arrives at the K C Ranch to become its foreman, but when he finds that the owner of the ranch has been killed and that the ranch is run by Clara Caldwell, Rocklin refuses to work for her. He does agree, however, to obtain a letter from Judge Garley proving Clara's ownership of the ranch. Rocklin arrives in Garley's office just after Garley has burned the letter. With a crooked judge, a pretty girl with a grudge, and a back-shooter on his tail, Rocklin doesn't stand a chance...or does he?
