The trail less traveled

Slocum gets a letter from an old army buddy to join him in a gold venture. But when Slocum arrives, the friend is dead, the friend's father and brother are slated to hang, and the friend's wife is bent on revenge. Slocum throws in and soon they are gathering up what little help they can find to go against the perpetrator and his gang of greedy gold-theiving no-goods. This was a good Slocum. The writing was well-done and the reader is given some insight into the lonely life of a drifter in the Old West. It does, however, lack a complex plot. It's all rather straight-forward and spends a lot of time with the preparation to free the captives. Best line: Slocum: "I'm not sure what I've got myself into, but looking a doubt down the road's a lot better than staring a fact in the face."
