Rounders 3 Hardcover – December 1, 1997

First published in 1960, the best selling novel The Rounders was immediately recognized as a rollicking classic of western fiction. The story of Dusty Jones and Wrangler Lewis, the "stove-up" cowboys whose luck is consistently bad, inspired a popular movie starring Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda, and a television series.

In this edition of Rounders 3, all three of Evans’s classic Rounders tales are here, The Rounders, The Great Wedding, and The Orange County Cowboys, accompanied by the wonderfully authentic drawings of cowboy artist Grem Lee.

In The Rounders, Dusty meets a roan named Old Fooler, a horse whose hooves should be cloven, he’s so mean-spirited. When Dusty’s not trying to send Old Fooler back to the devil, he is nursing the wounds, both physical and emotional, inflicted by the evil horse. In The Great Wedding, Dusty arranges to marry off his buddy, Wrangler, to a rich woman in Santa Fe, so they can all live happily ever after. High society in the Hi Lo Country will never be the same after a brush with these two rowdy range riders. And in the final, Spur Award-winning Novella The Orange County Cowboys, modern times catch up with Wrangler and Dusty when their boss, Jim Ed Love, plans to sell his ranch, their only home, to a Japanese investor.

After reading this classic collection of western stories and characters you’ll never look at cowboys or the West in the same way again. Illustrated with Grem Lee’s wonderfully detailed sketches of cowboys, this volume should be on the bookshelf of every lover of authentic works of the American West.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2009
I can't think of many times that I've laughed as hard as I did reading this book. The wordsmithing and the situations are pure gold! Roping wildcats, urinating off the back of a horse, trying to kill your steed before he succeeds in killing you. . . . This is hysterical stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2003
One of the gratest compliments I ever received for my book "Last Buckaroo" came from Publisher's Weekly when they said it was "reminisant of Max Evan's 'The Rounders'"
The fact that a 1960's TV series was based on this fast moving, comical novel attests to the fact that I was not the only one that felt it was one of the greatest western books that was ever written.
The only sad thing about this story is that it remined me of how much the western lifestyle has changed in such a short period of time.
Thank you Mr. Evans for capturing a few moments of the good times for us in your great book.
