Rounders 3

Legendary Western writer Max Evans takes you into the heart of Hi Lo Country to spend a little time with cowboys who work hard, play hard, live hard – and have a great time being cowboys. 'The Rounders': Two stove-up cowboys, Dusty Jones and Wrangler Lewis, set out to break a wild roan named Old Fooler – part horse, part devil – if he doesn't break them first! 'The Great Wedding': Dusty figures their troubles will be over if he can marry off Wrangler to a rich lady from Santa Fe. 'The Orange County Cowboys': Modern times finally catch up with Dusty and Wrangler when their boss sells the JL ranch – their only home and source of livelihood – to an investor with a real respect for tradition: Japanese tradition! This story won the Spur Award.
