BAR-20 (#1): Mulford’s first! The original version (not the Re-Edited “Rustler’s Round-upâ€) with the real Hopalong!! This isn’t the cleaned up “Hopalong†Boyd played in the movies. This Hopalong is the young, carefree cow-puncher whose life revolves around the Bar-20 Ranch, gambling, smoking, drinking, and cussing. This book is filled with action and humor! But be prepared for a rough cowboy who shoots to kill, and has no respect for our “neighbors south of the borderâ€. The whole BAR-20 gang is here as they go from one adventure to the next, fighting the neighboring ranch, outlaws, and rustlers. Give it a try; you’ll be a Hopalong Cassidy Fan after you read this!!!
BAR-20 Days (#2) follows Hoppy and the BAR-20 gang through a series of adventures from being “Shanghaiedâ€, fighting Indians, chasing horse thieves, and facing the vengeful, gunslinger Tex Ewalt.
Hopalong Cassidy (#3): Montana Ranchers move into the H2, a ranch that borders the BAR-20. A range war develops over land use and water rights. An organized gang of rustlers take advantage of the range war to clean out both ranches. Hoppy and the BAR-20 boys are just the men to stop it, but a woman from the H2 causes big complications.
