About this book
Joe Breedlove enjoys the desert sunrise, while his partner Indigo Bowers sees another hot day ahead. That difference runs through Ernest Haycox's Western short story, which pairs an easygoing rider with a man forever ready to take offence. When Joe heads for his hometown of Big Elk, Indigo wanders into Jingle Bell and finds that a stranger's welcome depends on which town he favours.
The rivalry gives Indigo plenty of opportunities to argue, boast and get into trouble. Beneath the wounded civic pride lies a practical dispute over the county seat, with cattle thieves benefiting from the hostility between neighbours. Haycox builds the story through sharp exchanges, sudden changes of temper and the contrast between his two riders.
