The Patriarch of Gunsight Flat (Unabridged‪)‬

Who can say if murder is a greater crime than thievery? 

Dave Cray and Gramps, after the end of the Civil War, moved east from Oregon to settle a new and bountiful territory. What they did, they did with their hands, but they had no money. Smiling Jim Sully opened a store there, and he had money but allowed the farmers to barter hay for goods. But Smiling Jim had other ideas; he wanted the farmer's lands. Dave Cray had his desire: Smiling Jim's daughter, Ann. It was a spark and a fire that brought all sides into a heated confrontation. How will anyone come out of it alive?
