A cracking good story of the bad old days of the Western Colorado
mining camps—days when a man’s chances of returning to his cabin
o’nights depended very largely on the despatch with which he could
bring his gun to the “draw.” Into one of these lawless camps comes
little Olaf, a homeless wanderer from the East. His advent, followed
by that of the Morrisons, marks a new era for Canyon Creek which
ends in the “cleaning up” of the entire town. Dr. Brady gives us a
captivating tale, brim-full of the vim and color incident to days and
places where life was cheap, and virtue both rare and dear.
