Ole Devil Hardin's O.D. Connected Ranch was watched over by an elite crew of top hands called the Floating Outfit. Most of them were veterans of the War Between the States. They were skilled with rifle, revolver and knife. Folks in West Texas knew better than to trifle with them. And the biggest man among them was the smallest, a range-toughened ex-Rebel cavalry officer called Dusty Fog.
