The man from yesterday and the gunfighters

It had happened while Neal Clark was still ramrod of the Circle C Ranch. He had ridden into Cascade City to see the gunsmith, and while he was there the Shelly gang attempted to hold up the bank. Neal rushed out of the shop and fired, repeatedly, killing Buck Shelly and his son, Luke. He may also have hit Ed Shelly, Buck's teenage son who was holding the horses. Ed escaped, but was believed to be mortally wounded. At least that's what Neal thought - until he received a letter from Ed declaring that he'd be back to settle the score.

  • "It was while Neal Clark was in the gunsmith's shop that the Shelly gang attempted to hold up the bank. Neal rushed out of the shop with his rifle, took aim, and fired, repeatedly, killing Buck Shelly and his son Luke Shelly. He may also have wounded Ed Shelly, a teenage boy, who was holding the horses. Ed Shelly made good his escape, but was believed to be mortally wounded. That's what Neal thought until he received a letter from Ed Shelly, declaring that he would be back someday to settle the score.Eight years later, Neal is married with a young daughter and has taken over the town bank. Cascade City is in the midst of a crisis brought about by Ben Darley and Tuck Shelton, promoters of an irrigation project that is an obvious scam, though it isn't obvious to most people in town or the surrounding ranching community. There is even talk of lynching Neal for his adamant rejection of investment in the project. It is at this point that the letters from Ed Shelly start coming again, this time vowing revenge not on Neal himself, but on his wife and daughter. There seems to be nothing Sheriff Joe Rolfe can do about it because there are no strangers in town except for the two promoters, both too old to be Ed Shelly...The Man from Yesterday is a gripping tale and a modern Western classic written by a Spur Award winning author."@en
  • "When he was 19 years old, Neal Clark shot two men who were holding up a bank. A third robber, younger than Neal, got away, but the fellow, Ed Shelly, warned Neal he'd be back for revenge. Eight years later, Neal is married, with a young daughter; he's manager of the bank and owner of his late father's ranch, the Circle C. But he's having a problem: a couple of shady characters have come into town looking for investors in their bogus irrigation project. Neal has refused to lend people money to buy into the project, and this has made him pretty unpopular in town. And if that ain't bad enough, a stranger appears bearing a letter for who's at risk, his family.--From back cover."
  • "Eight years after breaking up a bank robbery during which one of the robbers escaped, Neal Clark is forced to confront a couple of shady characters seeking investors for a bogus irrigation project at the same time the robbery suspect returns threatening revenge."
