It was probably going to be the last great wagon train ever to go up the Oregon Trail ... but right now the settlers were stranded in the middle of nowhere and they needed someone to get them safely through to the Promised Land. Sam Judge, the legendary town-tamer, had captained a few trains in his day, but he had no particular hankering to relive those wild times all over again. Those settlers still had hundreds of miles to go before they reached their destination, and the way ahead was filled with all kinds of danger. But fate had other ideas for Sam, and when they finally reached trail’s end, he and his gun-fast young partner, Matt Dury, found themselves under sentence of death ... and about to face a trial by fire!
