Max Brand, ALCATRAZ

The west wind came over the Eagles, gathered purity from the evergreen slopes of the mountains, blew across the foothills and league wide fields, and came at length to the stallion with a touch of coolness and enchanting scents of far-off things. Just as his head went up, just as the breeze lifted mane and tail, Marianne Jordan halted her pony and drew in her breath with pleasure. For she had caught from the chestnut in the corral one flash of perfection and those far-seeing eyes called to mind the Arab belief. This book was later released under the alternate titles: ALCATRAZ, THE WILD STALLION (Dodd, Mead, 1959) by Max Brand and DEVIL HORSE (Warner, 1974) by Max Brand
