Way of a Man

Emerson Hough was a fascinating figure and prolific author of classic Western novels. Engrossed by the idea of the Wild West, the young law school graduate from the Midwest pulled up stakes and made his way to the rough-and-tumble community of White Oaks, New Mexico to practice law and write. The Way of a Man has all of the elements of Hough's most successful novels: conflict between good and evil, simmering romance, and a stand-up protagonist who is willing to fight to the death to preserve his own code of honor.
