Plot summary
Confederate homesteaders bound for California take in a wounded man found along the way. He is Ned Bannon, a former Union officer shot and left for dead. Days later he wakes in the wagon of Ellen, a widow traveling with her son Will, and learns that the settlers worry the shooter may return; some of them resent having a Yankee among them. Bannon remembers only fancy spurs and a gold-plated rifle. He tells the train that no trail leads past Bishop's Valley, where he means to go, and Mort Harper and Purcell answer that the trail was broken a year ago. In private Bannon tells Ellen that the valley belongs to Hardy Bishop, his half-brother, who lets no one through.
