He'd run away from a cruel father to make his fortune in the vast Western wilderness, but after being saved from death by a well-meaning rancher, he was soon to be the accused of murdering his rescuer. Bound to hang for the crime, his life hung on the word of a trusting young woman and a puzzled U.S. marshal" -- Cover verso.
