The legend of Robert Fernald is narrated here in three related short novels. Fernald had been raised from childhood by his uncle with endless tales about the great days of the Wild West and the escapades of his father and Wild Bill - with a certain vagueness about which side of the law Fernald's father was on. Now Robert is back in the West with no ambition but to pursue exploits like those he grew up hearing about.
