"You was settin on the street when I seen you, and you was hungry. I fed you. Figgered a boy needed schoolin, so I sent you. Ever year I paid. You are old enough to make out. I got nothing more for you." The boy was left on the street, no money, no food, no home. The boy had one friend, then, one night at the Crossing, a group of cowpunchers from the Three-X killed his friend. But no one had figured on the kid, by the time the lights were out, the kid had emptied his guns, and some of the cowpunchers were dead. The kid went East, grew into an astute business man, and married a near-do-well out for an easy buck. She cheated him, betrayed him, and tried to have him killed, but since she never really knew the kid: she failed. It is here that the story of Flint begins. This a book for anyone who believes in responsibility, education, wisdom, growing up, citizenship, and building a future.
