Well, I couldn't help myself. I did order the kindle version, though I have several printed copies now. I even reread it. That is the nice thing about the kindle version, it is on my phone, so it is with me at all times. I hate downtime, so I just take out the phone and read when I get a chance.
It's been a number of years since I've read the book, and it was as good as I remember. HOWEVER, the darn PC crowd struck, and they did change one thing in the electronic version. The kid has a big white stallion. His name for it is a derogatory term for a black person.
Now, I detest that term. However, it would have been used a lot back in the time period, and the kid uses it as a joke, since the horse is all white.
No big deal, but I guess the tender snowflakes of today can't stand to see the word, even in fictitious literature, so they replaced it with the word "Thunder". How stupid.
Actually, I'm surprised they are digitizing J.T. Edson's works at all. In addition to the westerns being just good stories and fun to read, I also thoroughly enjoy Edson's political views. He hated communists, leftist, and liberals. The bad guys in most of his stories are usually from one of those groups, and often "bat for the wrong team" as well. Certainly not PC. I wonder how long it will be until someone whines and they stop bringing these out in digital form?
