About This Book

A roving former stage driver turned prospector, Casey Ryan sets off across sunbaked country with a large check and a battered Ford, alternating daydreams of luxury and romance with practical concerns of travel and survival. When he encounters a stranded automobile on treacherous red clay, he responds with a mix of genuine generosity and self-interested maneuvering, engaging other travelers in games of chance and social negotiation. The story moves through comic reversals and irony, concluding with Casey back where he began, having gained little more than an unexpected pair of socks.
