Dick and Jim are the colonial boys, not yet wild, but soon to be. Their father, Ben Marston, is an ex-convict who cannot forget his past nor change his ways. Through him, they meet Captain Starlight, the renegade of a noble English family, with a talent for "robbery under arms".

Excerpt from The Crooked Stick: Pollie's ProbationTHE time, the close of a lurid sultry Februaryday, towards the end of a long, dry summersucceeding a rainless winter, in the arid regionof West Logan. A blood-red sun sinking alltoo slowly, yet angrily, into a crimson ocean;suddenly disappearing, as if in despotic deliance of all future rainfall. A fiery portentreceding into the inferno of a vast conflagration, was the image chiefl.y presented to thedwellers in that pastoral desert, long heart-sickwith hope deferred.The scene, a limitless stretch of plain - itswearisome monotony feebly broken by belts oftimber or an infrequent pitie-ridge. The earthadut. A hopeless, steel-blue sky. The atmosphere stagnated, breezeless.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
