Reviews
On Apr 3 2020, a reader said:
Melody Madigan, also known as Six-Gun Madigan, fast on the draw, one of the best shots in the country, finds himself involved in a range war after the man he is after has fastened himself with the Du Sang brothers, Hugo, Luke, and Guy, who don't mind killing or stealing to increase the size of their herds or their land. Melody also finds himself facing a professional killer named Manitoba hired by the Diamond-8 to "go to work" on Melody. Melody also finds himself trying to help Tom Norris, a rancher the Du Sang brothers has targeted; and it so happens Norris has a pretty, copper-haired daughter, "Jerry"--incentive enough for any red blooded fellow to cause him to want to help. William Colt MacDonald writes westerns they way they should still be written. Enjoy this one for yourself.
