From the
massively magnificent archive….
The boy, Tom
Baskin, is helpless as the rider approaches one evening near dusk. The boy is
hanging by a rope tied to his heels and slung over a branch. Upside down and
left to twist on the rope, he was put in that position for a reason.
His rescuer,
Luther Donnelly, knows the people that the headstrong boy says did it to him
and for good reason. They are companions to a man he is hunting to settle a
score. It isn’t long before Tom Baskin and Luther Donnelly are working
together, not to settle their respective scores, but to move a herd of cattle
to market so that the local Mormons can pay their title to the church. Once
that is done for people that Luther Donnelly cares a lot about and are in real
need, they then can go about their business. Vengeance is just going to have to
wait.
The Tithing Herd
by J. R. Lindermuth is a compelling western read regarding faith and
perseverance. What begins as a simple vengeance story turns into a multi
layered desperate quest to save the life of a loved one featuring a number of
complicated and nuanced characters. The read is s a compelling western tale
where good triumphs over evil in small and big ways.
