Publisher's Synopsis
For years, history has provided us with major contributors of the West Frontier?those we continuously hear about and see. But there are those who are hidden, stories that are handed down by tradition considered myths. Applebee Jones is one of those stories. A San Francisco reporter, having heard the story, is assigned to either find the man or leave it as a myth. He travels by train throughout the West until a surprising turn of events. His real name is Burton Hicks. Terrible at his profession as a bank robber, he wants to find wealth and a place in history, which goes unnoticed. He needs to find a new angle. He takes the appearance of the late reverend Applebee Jones and finds himself in a world that he is unfamiliar with, and his plan of getting closer to the town's bank seems to be placed on hold. With the help of two unusual characters, Applebee combines his past, and now his present, in dealing with the situations he faces.
