Herb Marlow has written another Western, all about a young man — a veteran of the Civil war on the Confederate side — who befriends a young girl and her father and tries to shield them from a town of haters. In Ride the High Trails, Solomon Peters finds himself a man on a mission to protect and help a former Yankee soldier and his daughter, while trying to stay alive. He’s down from the high trails in cold Colorado to the hot weather of Texas cattle country.
A book excerpt reads, ”The horse was tired in a way that told of long trails in high places, and as his rider I was in no better shape, slouching in the saddle as tired as the horse, seemingly unaware of my surroundings. I was shabby, torn clothes dirty from long use, and lank dark hair under a sweat-stained and faded gray hat. The sweat was old, for it was a chilly early morning in April, not quite spring, and my collar was turned up, the ragged collar of a ragged black coat.”
His first book release of 2025, Ride the High Trails is now available in ebook and paperback. It is his 82nd book published with 52 of them currently available on Amazon. He’s in the process of writing several more with the next one likely to be “Combat Chaplain.”
