The Morgan Trail by W.C. Tuttle

Rex Morgan, a sheltered young man, finds himself alone after his mother's death. With no money or known relatives, he takes a job as a delivery driver but quickly loses it after a mishap. A mysterious check from Mesa City, Arizona, leads him there, seeking answers about his past. In Mesa City, he becomes entangled with the Lane family, who are embroiled in a conflict with the powerful 6X6 ranch, led by Peter Morgan. The Lanes are accused of murder, and Rex, along with cowboys Hashknife Hartley and Sleepy Stevens, tries to uncover the truth. As tensions rise, Rex learns about life, love, and his own resilience in the rugged West.
