Abstract:
Set in 1885, [this book] is a searing and realistic portrait of frontier life and mob violence in the American West. First published in 1940, it focuses on the lynching of three innocent men and the tragedy that ensues when law and order are abandoned. The result is an emotionally powerful, vivid, and unforgettable re-creation of the Western novel, which [the author] transmuted into a universal story about good and evil, individual and community, justice and human nature. As Wallace Stegner writes, "[Clark's] theme was civilization, and he recorded, indelibly, its first steps in a new country." -Back cover.
