192 pp. It was the creed of the boss of the Wagon Wheel, to which he expected all his hands to adhere, that nesters did not deserve help, friendship, or even the courtesy due good neighbors. But his top hand, Jay Murriton, had a feeling of compassion for the homesteaders who had settled on a quarter-section of land each: the unpainted shacks even reminded him of the home where he had spent his own youth during winter snows when crops were scarce. So when Jay was ordered to run the nesters out--and on Thanksgiving Day, at that--he asked for his pay and went over to the squatters' colony to cast his lot with them. He was prepared for all the dangers and attacks he had to face as a result; what he was not prepared for was the surprising nature of his chief ally when showdown came. - jacket
