    About this ebook

    The raucous beginning of Brand's Western is traditional: A gunfighter is shot dead in the street. However, when spinster Elizabeth Cornish takes his baby to raise and wagers with her brother that blood will not "will out"--that Jack's son will not be a murderer--a fascinating story of nature versus nurture emerges.

      It's been awhile since I listened to this, I didn't think much of it. Probably because it is such a dated western, but also because I couldn't swallow the behaviors of the main characters. They just didn't seem natural. Everything was forced and stereotyped to the point that I had to quit listening.
