This is the book basis for the Paul Newman movie of the same name. About a white man raised Apache who rides a stagecoach that en route is robbed. Set in 19th century Arizona. The varied characters and their interactions is what stands out. Racism is one of the topics/attitudes that is prominent.

Review of 'Hombre' on 'Goodreads'

Curiously, I decided to read one of Elmore Leonard's Westerns just days before his passing. A classic Western in Leonard's terse style. As he said, "Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip". (see Maria Popova's article at www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/08/21/elmore-leonard-10-rules-of-writing/). This was made into the movie with Paul Newman.
