Unclipped, original color illustrated dust jacket shows a man on a bay horse on a high hill, looking down at a covered wagon train with riders aplenty following along. DJ sports light color loss at dj tips, but no tears or chips, displays well. When the war was over and Jim Clay returned from fighting in the Union Army, he found that the Clay ranch had been burned to the ground by Quantrill's guerilla raiders, and his young brother, Joe, had been murdered while working for the Western Union Telegraph Company. Jim found his mother and swore to be revenged whether the killer was an Indian, resentful of the "singing wires" which were disturbing the buffalo hunters; a pony express rider, afraid the telegraph lines would ruin his mail business, or the stagecoach boss, Buck Galvin, who had the reputation of being a gun-runner and all-round saboteur. Though Indian hostility, white men's gunfire and treacherous double-crossing, Jim follows the trail, every step fraught with danger. The identity of the Big Boss "killer" keeps the reader guessing until the last showdown, out of which Jim finds a new friend and wins a wife. Seller Inventory # R46526
