The story of a young Westerner with genius for painting who is both the protégé of a young New York widow and the object of diabolical revenge on the part of the man whom his mother ran away from to marry his father. Apart from the melodramatic fury of the story a group of minor characters is drawn including “the cowboy in the clear, heady Colorado air, the genial freemasonry of the studio, Clarence, the lovable convert from civilization, dyspepsia and predigested food, and Ben Crider, fit associate for Billy Brue.” (Nation.)
“A generation ago such a story would have been branded as the rankest and frankest of shockers. But Mr. Wilson keeps a strong literary grip on his plot. His characters are admirably drawn, consistent and lifelike. There is plenty of real humour in the book, and some excellent pictures of manners, Eastern and Western.” Burton Blass.

“It is the drawing of the minor characters and their environment that gives the book its charm.”
