A Spur Award-winning Author Originally published as Vengeance Valley, this edition restores the author's title, Yancey's Jackpot, but the award-winning story remains the same. Hard Luck Yancey earned his moniker the hard way: getting swindled out of the fortune he earned on a high, windy ridge in the San Juan Mountains. But losing a silver mine and the town he founded hasn't stopped him. Now, he's made an astounding discovery - of black, Telluride gold - right beneath a Sisters of Charity miners' hospital.
