The Night Horseman

Old Joe Cumberland is dying, and hanging on in hopes of seeing his foster son before he goes. But Whistling Dan Barry is gone, lost somewhere in the vast mountain-desert, an enigmatic ghost no one knows, not even Cumberland's daughter Kate, who is in love with him. When Dan is found, he is already embroiled in a revenge duel to the death with the fearsome mountain man Mac Strann, and only when that is finished will he return.
