About this book
Ted Strong in Montana, or With Lariat and Spur by Edward C. Taylor gallops you straight into the raw, thrilling life of the Montana frontier where young bronco buster Ted Strong faces snow, wolves, and outlaws. This young-adult Western follows Ted and his friends—like loyal Bud Morgan—across ranchland and ridge, through blizzards, night raids, and mysterious camp ghosts. Episodic and fast-paced, the novel paints vivid scenes of cattle drives, line riders, duels of skill with lariats, and the tests of courage that come with homesteading during the early 1900s.
Taylor’s fiction captures themes of loyalty, coming-of-age grit, survival against the elements, and the bond between riders and their horses (don’t miss Sultan, Ted’s stalwart mount). Set against authentic Montana ranching life, the stories blend adventure, frontier justice, and touches of suspense without sacrificing heart or humor.
Perfect for teens and fans of classic Western fiction, Ted Strong in Montana is an ideal listen for anyone who loves horseback adventures, rugged outdoor drama, or character-driven coming-of-age tales set on the American frontier.
