Happy Hawkins

Happy Hawkins insists he isn’t a Westerner. When his first “Injun” strides into an Omaha lunchroom, Happy dives for cover—and fourteen doughnuts disappear.

Born in Indiana, Happy wanders west and discovers that frontier life offers a better education than the lunch counter ever could. A winter snowed in with the silent Spike Williams teaches him to think for himself; later, he goes to work for Cast Steel Judson, a hard, plain-spoken boss whose one soft spot is his fearless daughter, Barbie. Happy’s humor makes light of hunger, hard work and other men’s opinions, but even he knows experience can be a useful thing to draw on in a pinch. What will it take to get along with Cast Steel—and what might Happy learn from the people who seem hardest to know?
