Editor reviews
The Red Well is a good old-fashioned Western in the most traditional sense of the term, written by one of the genre's great masters, the notorious Max Brand, whose prolific literary production through the first half of the 20th century helped to shape this beloved style of American storytelling.
Steve Menasche's performance of the three stories that make up this collection is almost over-the-top at times, but then, the genre itself is defined in part by larger-than-life action, and Menasche's thick, drawling character voices work well in these stories of newsmen and ranch hands, treachery and gunfights, good guys and villains. Settle in for some shoot'em up action - you won't be disappointed!
Summary

Finnegan asks Charlie Kimball to help him defend the ranch and protect his wife Sarah andyoung son from the threat of death by Slade and his gang. Slade wants the ranch and will murderto get it if Finnegan refuses to sell. For Charlie Kimball the reason driving Slade can only be thered water in the well.
