Summary
SLOCUM's about to learn a lesson in love-and larceny. Between the mysterious bank robber lurking outside town and the crazed miner armed to the teeth inside it, Slocum would prefer to leave Dry Water in the dust-that is, until the new schoolmarm arrives. She's young, pretty, and knows more about the robbery than she's letting on.
Slocum Westerns are the longest running series of Westerns ever written, encompassing over 400 books, all of which are published under the pen name Jake Logan. The books have been written by a number of authors, and all feature John Slocum as the protagonist. John Slocum is a decent man who will do whatever it takes to survive what life in the Western Frontier throws at him. A Confederate soldier who lost his ancestral home to carpetbaggers after the Civil War and never went back, Slocum is as tough a gunfighter as they come. Slocum's adventures have taken him across most of the American West. He has been a soldier, slave, stage driver, bank robber, lawman, pioneer, cowboy, sheepherder, poor man, rich man, gambler, and drifter.
