Cowgirl Romances #5

Fiction House's Cowgirl Romances #5 delivers exactly the kind of high-stakes Western drama its title promises, with Maurice Whitman's cover art crackling with tension: a blonde cowgirl fires her pistol point-blank while being grabbed by a green-masked outlaw, as a dark-haired cowboy looks on from below and a distant stampede of horses churns across the background. The stories promised inside — "The Taming of Lone-Star Lou!" and "Stampede for Wyoming" — sound every bit as action-charged as that vivid red cover suggests. A fine slice of 1951 ranch-and-range adventure where romance and danger ride stirrup to stirrup.
