John Breck is a widower, who has left his ranch and two daughters to go to the aid of his dead wife's sister and family. Elizabeth, the sister, has also lost her husband, and is having difficulty with a daughter and son, who are starting to get wild. The other daughter is her mother's joy. John is using a derivation of his real name, and is now an upstanding citizen in his community after an earlier life as a gunfighter who was widely feared by lawless men. His nephew wants to emulate the uncle of his youth, but John has been changed by his marriage and fatherhood into a decent, upstanding man and no one in his county knows his true name. In his sister-in-law's town, the banker has the community under his thumb, and John is going to not only get Elizabeth's husband's gold claim properly restored to her, but try to help with the two wayward youth. This is a really good story, and I recommend it highly.
