Jerry Peyton's Notched Inheritance: A Western Story

by David Manning

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

[Peyton · Rating 3 out of 5]

I do not read a lot of Westerns, but I love Western movies. The library had a Western display and I pulled this title off the shelf. It read like a typical Western: gunslinger on a mission, betrayal, death of a loved on, a girl to woo, etc. I think the reason that I do not read a lot of Western's is because they are so formulaic. It feels like the same thing every time I read one. I did enjoy "Peyton" (the modern title) as a something different from what I typically read. I hope this book will leave enough of an impact on me to read a Western every once and awhile.
