"Rancher's legacy ... first appeared as a six-part serial in Street & Smith's Western story magazine (2/20/32 - 3/26/32)"--Title page verso.

When rancher Tom Baldwin is mortally wounded by an old enemy, he leaves his ranch and his money to the six industrious sons who have helped build it into a successful enterprise. To Flash, his never-do-well seventh son, Baldwin leaves a six-gun, a thoroughbred, and the task of avenging his death.
