Carty was a loner, the man they called “the Indian.” A white man raised Kiowa, he was wise in the ways of the ancient tribesmen, a man who could live close to the earth.

Instead, Chance offered Carty a proposition: If Carty would accompany Chance's sister to the Checkerboard Ranch, the debt would be forgotten. Carty accepted.

He was superficial, surface bright, lacking character and responsibility. He was something to each of these women in the instant of their need, but nothing to himself ...
