Synopsis

These three short novels by Peter Dawson embody the dramatic struggles that made the American frontier unique and its people legendary. In Brand of Luck, Hugh Conner thinks he's finally found a place of his own when he squats at an abandoned ranch. After he's worked the land, he's visited by the sheriff who tells him another rancher claims the land. In Death Brings in the Ophir, Nick Treacher means to exercise his option to a silver mine that the former owners want closed.

In the title story, Forgotten Destiny, Bill Duncan is on his way to help his father's former partner. The bank is foreclosing on Tom Bostwick's ranch, and Bill has $5,000 in gold to lend him. But Bill's journey is interrupted when a bullet brings on amnesia.
