"Joan Randle, in a spirit of anger, sent Jim Cleve out to a lawless Western mining camp, to prove his mettle. Then realizing that she loved him-she followed him out. On her way she is captured by a bandit band, and trouble begins when she shoots Kells the leader-and nurses him to health again." "The Border Legion [S., southern Idaho & south-western Montana; T., 1863]. The book begins and ends in Idaho, but its main setting is in the gold mining camps along Alder Gulch in Montana. It is based on the story of Henry Plummer, the West’s most infamous sheriff-outlaw. Man’s struggle with his tendency to both good and evil is accentuated. The book is rated highly by such Grey scholars as Joe Wheeler and Frank Gruber. The book features two of Grey’s most memorable villains." Charles G.
