Yancy Goes to Town
Yancy Yelkins is a happily married, small time cow thief. He is young, sort of a piehead, and moves through life with grin and glee. Then, on a stormy night, he witnesses a terrible crime: cattle are stolen, a couple are murdered, and their baby is tossed under the hooves of milling cattle. Before he can do anything, however, Yancy is shot in the back and left in the mud.
Yancy recovers quickly. On the surface he appears to be the same genial joker he always was, but under the surface a cold wind is blowing. He decides to ride to Kansas and right the wrong he has seen. He is going after the rustlers and…the Baby Killer.
‘Small in the Saddle’ is the story of Yancy’s jaunt to Dodge City, his run ins with famous marshals and dastardly outlaws. It is a tale of a young man learning to use a gun, and the price he pays for that lesson.
And, it is a tale of the unexpected.
When the reader thinks right, the story turns left. When the plot is plain and the die is cast, the durned moon is about to fall out of the sky and land on somebody’s head.
Yancy is a living human being, and he sure does everything wrong. Still, good comes from the oddest hearts, and Yancy has the oddest, and biggest, heart of all.
