Max Brand 
The Mustang Herder 

The Mustang Herder by Max Brand is about the most unlikely hero, Sammy Gregg who goes on to become the best and most driven mustang herder despite his small stature. Excerpt: ‘Someone who knew what he was talking about said that no man should go into the West, the real frontier West, that is, unless he was capable of inspiring some measure of awe. Perhaps by his dignity, which is, after all, the best way of keeping a man out of trouble.’
