A young trapper sees his friend and mentor murdered, but on the revenge trail stumbles across two orphans and finds his path diverted in Long Blows the North Wind by Owen G. Irons.
Irons was Paul Lederer, who burned up a lot of typewriters writing westerns under multiple names.
This is an entertaining oater that hits good beats as the trapper befriends the kids against nefarious distant relatives and guns-for-hire. Value added with a memorable cattle drive in a snow storm and a drunken but still deadly railroad detective.
I will definitely dip my toe into Irons' deep pool of writing again. This one I got in a big lot of vintage westerns from eBay and read quickly.
