“He’s a crow you say? I’ve heard the Crows are
born thieves and murderers.”
“Man’s apt to hear most anything he listens to
the wrong people.”
Bill Gulick gives us a wagon train tale with a morality overlay. It is
a common theme in the genre but Gulick handles it ably. We find the usual “people
thrown together finding their way in the land and among each other,” the able
Stranger, and an incident where assumptions and realties meet and the reactions
to that meeting limns each character.
Fans of L ’Amour’s brand of story will find much to enjoy here.
