back of book - While still a green-as-grass pup, Hugh Morgan discovered a talent for killing on the bloody battlefield of Gettysburg. So at war's end, the young gunslick hit the frontier trail, hightailing it west to hone his deadly skills sharper'n Jim Bowie's blade. Fighting redskins with George Custer's Seventh, Morgan learned to deal out death smoother than a pat hand of five-card poker. And by the time he reined up in the dusty streets of Abilene, folks were already swapping tall tales about the Pennsylvania farmboy with the lightning draw and the dead-sure eye!
