by William MacLeod Raine

William MacLeod Raine (1871-1954), is the author of such popular western adventure novels as A Texas Ranger (1910), Yukon Trail (1917) and A Man Four-Square (1919). Tangled Trails - A Western Detective Story, published in 1921, is another yarn full of cowboys and western drama. It is a mystery and a western all rolled up into one. Raine's fast paced plots and varied settings are the backdrop for gun toting cowboys, tough marshals, mean outlaws and the language particular to the western frontier.
