It was while Neal Clark was in the gunsmith's shop that the Shelly gang attempted to hold up the bank. Neal rushed out of the shop with his rifle, took aim, and fired, repeatedly, killing Buck Shelly and his son Luke Shelly. He may also have wounded Ed Shelly, a teenage boy, who was holding the horses. Ed Shelly made good his escape, but was believed to be mortally wounded. That's what Neal thought until he received a letter from Ed Shelly, declaring that he would be back someday to settle the score.

Eight years later, Neal is married with a young daughter and has taken over the town bank. Cascade City is in the midst of a crisis brought about by Ben Darley and Tuck Shelton, promoters of an irrigation project that is an obvious scam, though it isn’t obvious to most people in town or the surrounding ranching community. There is even talk of lynching Neal for his adamant rejection of investment in the project. It is at this point that the letters from Ed Shelly start coming again, this time vowing revenge not on Neal himself, but on his wife and daughter. There seems to be nothing Sheriff Joe Rolfe can do about it because there are no strangers in town except for the two promoters, both too old to be Ed Shelly

The Man from Yesterday is a gripping tale and a modern Western classic written by a Spur Award winning author.

From the Author:
Wayne D. Overholser: Wayne D. Overholser (1906 1996) won three Spur Awards from the Western Writesrs of America and has a long list of fine Western titles to his credit. Buckaroo’s Code was his first Western novel and remains one of his best. His stores are based on a solid knowledge of the history and customs of the nineteenth-century West, particularly when set in his two favorite Western states, Oregon and Colorado.
From Booklist:
When he was 19 years old, Neal Clark shot two men who were holding up a bank. A third robber, younger than Neal, got away, but the fellow, Ed Shelly, warned Neal hed be back for revenge. Eight years later, Neal is married, with a young daughter; he’s manager of the bank and owner of his late father’s ranch, the Circle C. But he’s having a problem: a couple of shady characters have come into town looking for investors in their bogus irrigation project. Neal has refused to lend people money to buy into the project, and this has made him pretty unpopular in town. And if that ain’t bad enough, a stranger appears bearing a letter for Neal: Ed’s going to come looking for that revenge. And it’s not just Neal who’s at risk—it’s his family, too. This is a very good western (it originally ran as a magazine serial in 1956). The author draws on one of the genre’s more popular themes, revenge, to create a tautly constructed story featuring a sympathetic hero and an enigmatic villain. --David Pitt
