Memory is a dangerous thing... In the shambles of the stricken, defeated South, lawless men saw an opportunity to seize power they did not deserve. These men had fought on no side in the Civil War, but had instead battened on the defenceless old people left at home. One such unscrupulous man, Reuben Slatt, along with his ragged scallawag followers, had a better idea. Why not adopt the flag of the victors and take over and run a town... for their own benefit? Why not bleed the town dry and shoot as traitors any Southerner who dared lift a hand against them? A great idea in theory. But trouble lay ahead... One man was not willingly to simply stand by and see defenceless people exploited and murdered. A man of resource and high courage. A man who was unafraid to use a gun for a just cause, with the charisma and motivation to encourage others to do the same. And yet this man knew nothing about himself. He could not even remember which side he had fought on in the Civil War, for he had lost his memory. Will this mysterious figure bring justice to the west? Gordon Landsborough (1913-1984) was a publisher, author and bookseller.
