HERE LIES SAM BARLOW
COWARD-THIEF-MURDERER
KILLED BY CULLEN BAKER
I burned those words on a rough board, dug the grave deep and left them for Barlow to see. Then I started practicing with my Colt ten hours a day, till it leaped into my hand and found the target like a living thing. I was ready for Barlow now. I had invented the deadliest form of hand-to-hand fighting the world had ever seen--the first fast draw.

A good western.
