Nan is a member of an outlaw family -- the Morgans of Morgan's Gap -- a band whose daring exploits of lawlessness have held all the valley in subjection and terror for years. Henry de Spain, the general manager of Thief River Stage Line, has been hired to subdue the Morgans and restore peace and order. The intensely exciting events that follow -- de Spain's strategy, his night pursuits and captures, his hand-to-hand combats, and the whole thrilling story of his war on the outlaws (always interwoven with his growing love for Nan) make a epic tale that may well be called the masterpiece of Frank H. Spearman's career. Frank Hamilton Spearman (1859-1937) was an American author, best known for his Western fiction and his fiction and nonfiction writing about railroads. His best known work remains the novel "Whispering Smith."
Autorenporträt
Frank Hamilton Spearman, born on September 6, 1859, in McCook, Nebraska, was an American author known for his contributions to Western fiction, particularly focusing on railroads. Despite his prolific writing career on railroad topics, Spearman's professional life was centered around banking, serving as the president of a bank in McCook, rather than working for a railroad. His works were frequently illustrated by notable artists, including N. C. Wyeth for "Whispering Smith." Spearman s writing often reflected his devout Roman Catholic faith and his political beliefs, which leaned towards a proto-Libertarian viewpoint. His most famous work, "Whispering Smith," inspired by real-life Union Pacific Railroad detectives, was adapted into several films, including four silent versions and later sound films, and even a 1961 TV series. Spearman s novels, particularly in the Western genre, were highly regarded during his time and have been reprinted multiple times, ensuring his legacy in American literature. He passed away on December 29, 1937. His literary impact continues to be felt through the lasting popularity and adaptation of his works.
