Single Jack

Andrew Apperly visits his lawyer brother, David, in New York City to convince David to return West with him. Andrew brought with him a wolf-dog, Comanche, to be trained by a man who handles tigers who admits the dog can't be trained. Comanche saves a man from drowning in the East River who is running from the law. Comanche is this man's dog and the man is Jack Deems (Single Jack). The Apperly bros head west with the dog, leaving Jack behind, but not for long. He shows up at the Apperly Ranch to get his dog. Apperly says he can have him for nothing but a little assistance in fighting off the big rancher who is stealing his cattle and running the town of Yeoville, Alex Shodress. It turns out that Jack is the fastest, slickest, gol-darndest gunman ever, and the best gol-darndest knifeman and ropeman and everythingman ever seen or heard of out West or back East or up North or down South.—oscar-curlyblog.blogspot.com
