TWO BRAND CLASSICS! Here, together in one volume, are two thrilling novels by Max Brand, the master of Western fiction. Dust Across the Range presents the story of Harry Mortimer, a free-thinking, college educated man who knows the brutal devastation that a dust storm can bring. As part owner of a ranch, he has been trying desperately to put his new ideas of soil conservation into practice. But it's only the elemental forces of nature that can show the reluctant ranchers and townsfolk the error of their ways. Will they see it in time? In The Cross Brand, Sheriff Harry Ganton and Jack Bristol have been friends since they were young. But when Harry accuses Jack of trying to steal his girl, guns blaze and the sheriff is shot. Jack, believing he has killed his friend, flees town, only to run into two mysterious hardcases, one of whom has a cross brand on his forehead...and a date with the hangman's noose in his future.
