Hi, Randy! It's good to hear from you again.

The 1959 movie "The Hanging Tree" was based upon a wonderful novella
written by the Montana author Dorothy Marie Johnson. Three of Dorothy
Johnson's western tales were made into famous films: "The Hanging
Tree," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," and "A Man Called Horse."

"The Hanging Tree" can be bought new, at a reasonable price:

If you'd rather have a pre-owned book, the link below will take you to
four pages of listings which will enable you to purchase a used copy
of "The Hanging Tree." Some of these are expensive collectors' items,
and some are inexpensive paperbacks, so you'll have a very wide field
from which to choose:

I hope this helps! It's great to be able to provide information
