Borden Chantry
“Unwillingly, he kept thinking of Hyatt Johnson, feeling guilty all the while because he had never really liked Hyatt.In that part of the country in that period, there was no great affection for bankers or railroad men. The former had foreclosed on too many properties when poor men were unable, due to weather and grazing conditions, to pay their bills. The latter because the rates the railroad charged were felt to be too high.Borden Chantry, with a large ranch and a good reputation, had no succe...ss in getting a reasonable loan and reasonable rates that might have kept him in business. Hyatt had offered to buy his land at a price far below its value, or had offered a mortgage at rates he had no chance of ever paying, so Borden had refused both offers.He had his land, but he had no cattle. He would have thought Johnson merely shortsighted if he had not known that the banker wanted his land.Yet, the banker had to be considered. The murdered man had gone to the bank. He had been carrying money.MoreLess

Lang has already in the first couple of chapters offered to help Borden about 40 times, ad told him to let it go about 20. He is the suspect for me , so far.

Lamour is making a ery poor straggling attempt to beild up some sort of what might be loosely called "suspense" by repeaing the same things over and over. The more I read Lamour books there seem more and more just like his old pulp 1/2 cent a word Pulp Western stories. His constant repetition of unneccessary items and pieses of irrleevant history taken from encyclopaedias, or just mad up, is boring.For instance , what readers would be intereste that the friars accompanying De Soto or Pizzaro or one of those bloodthirsty adventurers had begin building amonastery in 162 of 15 y8, whennthe ruin shave no rleevance to the story and are rarely-if ever mentioned again
Like his mythical 69-6 supposed professional fight record. A record like that would have taken at least 10 or more years to acquire, including title fights but.....when did he have the time to write his stuff.
He's supposed to have been handed the job of succeeding Tuttle re the Hopalong Cassidy books, but Tuttle was pretty mediocre writer and the Bar 20 stories were mostly hit and mis rubbish, made famous by the movies of Bill Boyd, whose character was the complete opposite of the Tuttle one. He didn't have red hair nor a wooden leg and was a clean talking man who rarely if ever had drink of alcohol. The exact opposite of the rough dirty Mulford Cassidy.
