Crossed Trails by K. Eggleston Dust Jacket Only First Edition Wright & Brown Ltd 1932. A bright fine example.

In the wind-whipped prairies of the untamed Midwest, where fate's capricious hand twists paths like barbed wire, K. Eggleston's Crossed Trails charts the odyssey of drifter Tom Renville, a Civil War veteran haunted by ghosts of Gettysburg. Seeking redemption in a Kansas homestead, he collides with the iron-fisted cattle king Slade Harlan, whose rustler kin threaten the fragile Eden Tom has staked. Amid thundering herds, midnight ambushes, and a forbidden romance with Harlan's headstrong daughter, Renville wrestles the demons of loyalty and loss. Eggleston's spare, sinewy prose evokes the raw poetry of the frontier—where crossed trails forge unbreakable wills or lead inexorably to the grave.
