註釋Young Sam Stoddard is restless. Trouble is, wicked Billy Bly is the only trail hand around to ride to California with. This thrilling saga of the Old West is set in 1861 in Sacramento City, against the backdrop of the Great Flood in California of that time. Sam leaves his hometown of Laramie City on horseback with his dubious friend, ladies' man Billy, heading out of Dakota Territory in search of an exciting new life. Sam and Billy have several nip and tuck adventures before arriving safely in California, the new-minted state. And Sam, unfortunately, ends up in a gunfight with Bourbon Bob, who was actually becoming his solid new friend. Sam's new mentor, the Minster Luke Israel, the local Sacramento preacher, has tried to guide Sam away from the wicked life he craves towards one of goodness and honesty. But will Sam listen to reason? Will he get hitched to Kate Buttonwillow? Or will he be completely taken in by the evil Bill Bly and his destructive ways? This novel explores the consequences of moral choices and the fragile nature of civilization. Full of pulse-pounding action, authentic dialogue, and a fitting end to the moral struggle for renewal, this tale of the Old West is an exhilarating read.
