When a Man's a Man

When a mysterious stranger seeks employment on an Arizona cattle ranch, he’s put to the test to prove his manhood in this classic Western novel.

Though his clothes and bearing suggest a life of leisure and genteel breeding, the man who calls himself Honorable Patches has come to Prescott, Arizona, to find work as a cowboy. Inexperienced but full of determination, he’s taken on at the Cross-Triangle Ranch, where he learns the trade under the guidance of the foreman, “Wild Horse” Phil Acton.

But when the area is targeted by cattle rustlers, Patches finds himself the subject of unwarranted suspicion. Tested by the demanding labor as well as the other cowboys, Patches proves his worth time and again. But as his tumultuous past comes to light, his true reasons for coming west are revealed. First published in 1916, When a Man’s a Man is a classic tale of self-discovery on the Western frontier.
