Waiting for the Hangman

By Carlton Youngblood

James Buckley Armstrong--called Buck by most people who know him--can't say no when he is asked to protect the girl sitting across from him in the stagecoach. What he doesn't know is the man they are on their way to visit, her Uncle Clarence, is in jail waiting for the hangman. Clarence has not denied he was once part of the Henry Plummer gang, and when the hangman arrives, he'll pay the price. But before that happens, he wants Buck to help the girl find Plummer's hidden stash of stolen gold. Buck knows he doesn't want her to live with the memory of his hanging, and he isn't sure about the gold, either--but unfortunately, there are others who want both the hanging and the gold.
