FROM THE DUSTJACKET:
"In 1901, in Modoc County, California, the tiny hamlet of Lookout was the scene of a lynching. In the early morning of May 31, Calvin Hall his sons Frank (whom Calvin would not admit as his own), and James (who was Calvin's favorite); Dan Yantis, a drifter who was reputed to be the lover of Calvin's Indian wife Mary; and Martin Wilson, the fourteen-year-old son of Mary Hall, were taken from the Myers Hotel, which was also the jail for Lookout, and hanged.
Like many tragic happenings, the Lookout lynching, for which no one was ever convicted, gave rise to many legends. James O. Souther has undertaken to separate the fact from the fiction in this exciting little book which contains all of the elements of the traditional Western thriller."
