Publisher's Synopsis
A young lad, fifteen years of age, leaves his home in Salina, Kansas to make his way in the world. Newt is his name. Along the way he acquires a pistol, a horse, a saddle and other items he will need in his travels. After stays in Missouri, Texas, and New Mexico he lands in Tucson, Arizona. By then he is highly proficient with his gun, so much so some will come to know him as a "Shootist." He falls in love and tragically loses his wife to the jealousy of a previous suiter. Newt leaves Tucson only to encounter more adventures.
Will he return, or will he find another place to settle down again?
