About this item

When Samuel Cross was growing up, he was rarely found without a book in his hands and that was the way his widowed mother wanted him raised. His uncle wanted him to be strong and able to fend for himself, so he taught Sam how to fight and use a weapon. Sam proved to be as adept at these subjects as he had been at book learning. When Sam was eighteen, he took a job working for the trader at Fort Bostwick as a well-paid clerk and watchdog of the business. What Sam didn t understand was that he actually looked forward to troublemakers coming into the shop so that he could deal with them. When the district marshal confronts Sam about his notoriety and reputation as a safety killer, Sam decides to leave the fort and learn how to live right."
