The Sheriff's Son

John Beaudry was a fearless sheriff in the Wild West who ended up killed by the notorious Rutherford crew, leaving behind a young and fragile boy. Many years later, Roy Beaudry is a grown man who never managed to live up to the standards his father set. However, when an old friend of his father reaches for help, Roy returns to his father's country, determined to overcome his nature and confront his demons. A local rancher has been missing for a while after interfering in the dealings of the same Rutherfords, who are suspected of pulling off a recent train robbery, and Roy gets a chance to stand up against the Ratherford clan and avenge his father's death.

William MacLeod Raine (1871-1954), was a British-born American novelist who wrote fictional adventure stories about the American Old West. His earliest novels were romantic histories taking place in the English countryside. However, after spending some time with the Arizona Rangers, Raine shifted his literary focus and began to utilize the American West as a setting. The publication of Wyoming marks the beginning of his prolific career as a writer of western novels, twenty of which were made into movies.
