Then one day Boone learned that Jawbone wasn't really his dad, and that raised a different sort of problem - now Boone had to know, who was he? Breaking away from his outlaw apprenticeship with Jawbone was tough enough, but not half as dangerous as making the townspeople accept him as a decent citizen.

The trail stretched from Wyoming to Arizona, through a wild country of deep defiles and blind canyons. Lawless men knew it well, knew where to find the secret hideouts scattered along its length - outlaw strongholds like Hole-in-the-Wall and Robber's Roost.
