Lost and waiting for you. Go!" Will Mark find lost treasure, or sudden death?Jackson Gregory was a California schoolteacher before turning to writing. He first appeared in Adventure in 1915, and became a regular in Western Story. He did mysteries, fantasy, and south sea adventure, but wrote mainly westerns, producing several per year till his death in 1943. As his dustjacket copy put it: "Mr. Gregory has won a place as one of the most entertaining and successful American storytellers. The backgrounds of his tales are authentic for he 'lives his stories' by locating in the place where the plot is laid and becoming for the time a native son."

They encounter a mysterious campfire, with bacon cooking and coffee boiling, but no camper to be found. Later, they meet Alan Howard of the old Diaz Rancho, who tells them the camper left in a hurry, as though pursued, and mentions an Indian legend of the god Pookhonghoya, who hunts the souls of enemies with a strange wolflike companion.Jackson Gregory was a California schoolteacher before turning to writing.

. . . . small towns on the frontier have little or no law at all. There's no court to convince, no judge or jury to argue with to prove one's innocence. What there are are mobs that form spontaneously, convinced (as mobs will become) of what is obvoius -- even when it isn't so.In the land where survival of the fittest is the law, Buck must find the highwayman -- and save himself from the hangman.
