About this book

Two riders, Young Pete and Dave Hamill, reach a desert town called Perdition after passing a signboard that gives the distance. The town has a name for relieving visitors of their money, and its marshal, Collins, makes newcomers hand over their weapons. Pete's answer is to ask for a written receipt. Henry Herbert Knibbs wrote this as one of his Young Pete stories, and a gambler known as the Spider also joins the scene.
