  • A
  • settler
  • returns
  • to
  • the
  • town
  • he
  • founded
  • to
  • burn
  • it
  • to
  • the
  • groundWhen
  • Tom
  • Quinn
  • first
  • came
  • to
  • the
  • little
  • patch
  • of
  • prairie
  • that
  • would
  • become
  • Stratton,
  • it
  • wasn’t
  • paradise,
  • but
  • it
  • was
  • close.
  • The
  • town
  • he
  • built
  • there
  • was
  • beautiful
  • in
  • a
  • humble
  • way,
  • an
  • honest
  • Western
  • village
  • where
  • hardworking
  • settlers
  • came
  • to
  • make
  • new
  • lives.
  • When
  • Tom
  • moved
  • on,
  • he
  • left
  • a
  • happy
  • town
  • behind
  • him.
  • And
  • then
  • a
  • man
  • called
  • Shelley
  • Peebles
  • came
  • and
  • turned
  • it
  • into
  • hell.Backed
  • up
  • by
  • a
  • gang
  • of
  • hired
  • guns,
  • Peebles
  • pushed
  • out
  • the
  • small
  • landowners,
  • using
  • money
  • and
  • muscle
  • to
  • corrupt
  • the
  • village
  • and
  • its
  • people.
  • Only
  • one
  • man
  • stood
  • in
  • his
  • way—the
  • veteran
  • gunman
  • Tyler
  • Holt—and
  • so
  • Peebles
  • used
  • his
  • influence
  • to
  • have
  • Holt
  • lynched.
  • This
  • outrage
  • brings
  • Quinn
  • back
  • to
  • the
  • town
  • he
  • loved
  • so
  • much—not
  • to
  • save
  • it,
  • but
  • to
  • wipe
  • it
  • off
  • the earth.
