Over the Pass

"Over the Pass" by Frederick Palmer is an adventurous tale unfolding in the Arizona desert where a chance encounter forever alters the course of a young traveler's life. Jack Wingfield, a carefree cowboy, finds his easygoing existence upended when he stumbles upon Mary Ewold, a woman caught in the clutches of the menacing Pete Leddy. What starts as a playful interruption quickly escalates into a dangerous game, as Jack discovers Leddy's violent nature and the threat he poses. The Arizona landscape becomes the stage for a brewing conflict, setting the scene for a battle of wills between the lighthearted traveler and the ruthless local ruffian, where courage and identity will be tested in the face of life-threatening danger.
