A Wild Town
Gregory Quist was looking for a killer, and he had his choice of suspects to choose from. The town of Arcanum was chocked full of people any one of whom could have killed Vance McAllister and his young wife. Add to that a greedy, powerful land hungry killer who wants the railroad right a way, and Quist had his hands more than full. Gregory Quist is one of William Colt MacDonald's finest characterizations. Along with the Three Mesquiteers series of books he created, Mr. MacDonald is a legend in the western genre. His books should not be dismissed by any lover of westerns. They are good reading.
