| Plot Summary of Chancy |
|---|
"From the beginning, the deck was stacked against Otis Tom Chancy. However, he didn't let that keep him down or keep him out of trouble - he dared to take risks and take responsibilty for them. Now those risks had gotten him a start in honest cattle ranching with a good partner, a good friend and a good girl on his side. He also had a group of no-good cattle thieves aiming to take his herd away from him and they preferred to do it over his dead body!"
Lucy Johnson, Resident Scholar
