Krátky popis
Paul Wellman knows his Kansas and gives the reader the feel of the
plains, of the sky “the bowl of brass”, of the loneliness outside
the tiny communities, and the bitter core within the communities
themselves. This has the quality of catching the feel of the
opening West... it has no specific characters or incidents
associated with history, and yet there is a note of authority in
his background of political shenanigans as the tiny town of Jericho
through its “boss” makes a bid for county seat, for state official
recognition, for railroad right of way. The story centers on an odd
triangle situation,—there’s a lovely girl married to an old man, a
skinflint who grinds every ounce possible out of his hired man—and
eventually loses all in the process. A moving story with a somewhat
sensational finale, but a good picture of the opening west ’round
about 1880.
