Description

The adventurous story of two young brothers who grew up to see their native countryas hard as granite and as tough as sows snoutadopt another law than that of the wolf . . .

At twelve, Larry Blue had just three things on his mind: to make a lot of money, to send his brother Don to school, and not to forget Annette, who was crying. For Larry was running away (not from home, but from the sheriff) to make his way in the worlda young wolf cub, whose father had been hanged, alone in a country that was proud of its wickedness and, oddly, proud too of its Hanging Judge.

This, then, is the romantic story of the Blues, who went two ways but loved and learned one country; of the Western years that change boys into men; and of the women they loved. It is also the story of Ol Jim Cardwine (whom Bret Harte would have loved), of Judge Lester and Father Paul and cultured Arch Bolton, and of the strange rancher Clark Andrews.
