About This Book

An ebullient adventurer narrates a string of episodic frontier exploits set off by a striking encounter on a transcontinental train, where a broad-shouldered lawman intrudes on the company of a reserved young woman. The tale moves through border towns, revolutions, armed holdups, secret chambers, hidden valleys, and wilderness pursuits, alternating brisk action with wry humor and quiet observation. Scenes emphasize frontier justice, loyalty, and resourcefulness, and the narrative links compact, self-contained episodes into a lively portrait of risk, survival, and the untamed landscape along an unfenced border.
