| Summary | "Smoke of the .45" by Harry Sinclair Drago is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the American West, the story introduces readers to a rugged landscape where characters must navigate their pasts and the choices that come back to haunt them. The narrative revolves around Crosbie Traynor, a weary stranger entering the vibrant town of Standing Rock, and the implications that arise from his return, highlighting themes of identity, revenge, and the tension inherent in human relationships. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of the changing seasons in the desert, capturing the vibrance of bustling towns during cattle shipping time. As Traynor arrives, his presence stirs concern in those who recognize him, hinting at a dark past and the possibility of vengeance. The lives of townsfolk, including a nervous barkeeper and a barroom full of rowdy characters, intertwine with the looming shadow of Traynor's return, suggesting that unresolved conflicts from twenty years prior may threaten to resurface. The tension builds with the secrets that surround Traynor, setting the stage for a tale that explores the weight of history and the precarious balance of life in the harsh yet compelling frontier.
