In 1892 Central Wyoming is booming. It has vast prairies ideal for grazing and precious minerals, both above the ground and below. It also has a greedy few who will do whatever they must to acquire these riches for themselves. What they will not do is allow Billy Young and Deputy Hugo Dorling to stand in their way. Gypsy Rock is a story of one evil act that sets off a chain of events that spirals downward toward dozens of brutal deaths. It is a story of hate and prejudice, acceptance and courage. Ultimately, Gypsy Rock is the story of Billy Young, a twenty-year-old Wyoming rancher, and his effort to find his place in what appears to be a dark, treacherous, and violent world.
