Englishman Lord Langsford is leaving California after an
adventurous visit, but finds more excitement in a Dime Novel that he shares
with his two fellow travelers on the train bound to New York: This is the
embellished but true tale of Black Bart and Special Agent James B. Hume of
Wells Fargo & Company.
It’s California gold country and the notorious Black Bart
robs his twenty-eighth Wells Fargo Stagecoach. The stage driver shoves down the
heavy cash box then whips his team into a gallop away from the gunslinger. When
the outlaw dismounts his horse to gather up his loot, a rattler slinks onto the
road and bites him through his boot. He shoots off its head, but his horse
bolts, leaving him snake bit and on foot. The gold from the local mines is
heavy. He must carry the bounty out of the Sierra Mountains or die trying.
Special Agent James B. Hume of Wells Fargo & Company, a
friend of Lord Langsford, has been after Black Bart for eight years. Now for
the first time, Hume has some of the outlaw’s possessions. He has to use his
wits, but the gunslinger has nearly a week’s head start. Can Hume catch the
outlaw once and for all? Or will Black Bart escape to terrorize again?
