Nan of Music Mountain Frank H. Spearman

Nan is a member of an outlaw family -- the Morgans of Morgan's Gap -- a band whose daring exploits of lawlessness have held all the valley in subjection and terror for years. Henry de Spain, the general manager of Thief River Stage Line, has been hired to subdue the Morgans and restore peace and order. The intensely exciting events that follow -- de Spain's strategy, his night pursuits and captures, his hand-to-hand combats, and the whole thrilling story of his war on the outlaws (always interwoven with his growing love for Nan) make a epic tale that may well be called the masterpiece of Frank H. Spearman's career.
