"Jim Silcott was filling in as editor of the Powder Horn Sentinel after the fromer editor and owner, Carl Rogers, had been shot down from ambush because he dared to buck the mighty Hat T gang. And Jim was carrying on Rogers's fight against dictatorial Russell Mosely in the feud over the conflicting land grants to former Spanish landholders which affected the lives of nearly all the settlers on Tincup Creek. He had carried it to the point where his own life was sorth not much more than a dime. Pretty Anne Eliot, slender and spirited and a complete lady, as well as Carl Rogers's niece, arrived in Blanco just in time to see Jim Silcott engage in an unequal gunfight with three Hat T roughnecks. After she learns some of the recent history, Anne decides to take over the Sentinel and run it herself. For a time, she is undecided whether Jim Silcott, who is reckless and daring and charming, or Russell Mosely, who looks like a Greek god and speaks with a silver tongue, is in the right. Anne soon comes to the conclusion that Mosely is a Greek bearing gifts, and from tere the explozive action moves through gunplay, dynamiting, drygulching, and on to historic Santa Fe for the crashing climax."--Back cover.
