It might be said that both Jim Currys were the victims of fate. Jim Curry the elder had an unsavory reputation, but he only got into bad trouble when, demonstrating a slick piece of gun play to Dad Jackson, he accidentally killed him.Wanting to do the right thing, Jim Curry the elder rode into town to explain what happened to Sheriff Mason, and though the sheriff accepted his explanation, he insisted Jim be locked up to await trial. Then the real trouble began. Not wanting to spend even one night in jail, Jim knocks down the sheriff, and believing he has killed him, runs.When he arrives at the ranch he shares with his son Jim Curry the younger, they decide the only thing to do is fight off the posse of hooded horsemen that arrives in short order. The posse is only interested in one thing: hanging Curry. And if his son defends him, they'll kill him too. When a shot kills his father, Jim Curry the younger has no alternative but to run and become an outlaw as well.This trio of stories about the life and destiny of Jim Curry, is vintage Max Brand His western stories are considered among the best in the genre and have been translated into every major language and adapted for film and television
