"A boy in Texas waits for a Christmas present he chose from a Montgomery Ward catalog. But the brand new lever-action Winchester 1886 and box of .50-caliber slugs never arrive. Caught up in a train robbery, the rifle starts a long and violent journey of its own - from a notorious, kill-crazy outlaw to an Apache renegade to a hardscrabble rancher and beyond. While the Winchester wanders the West, Deputy U.S. Marshal Jimmy Mann hunts for the outlaw who robbed the train in Texas. His only clue is this prized and highly coveted weapon." --From the back cover
