The story takes place in 1929 in Hardin, Montana. Not exactly the heart of the West. But that&#8217;s the point of this story, I guess. It&#8217;s a wistful look back at a time gone by, more of a vignette than a story. It&#8217;s beautiful in its own way, but not the kind of story I was hoping for. It probably would have struck me more poignantly if I had read it in order, since it comes towards the end of the anthology. Maybe after reading a bunch of traditional stories of the West, Knight&#8217;s story of an aging train robber would have had a greater impact.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My Rating:\u00a0\u2b51\u2b51\u2b51\u2729\u2729<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Card Drawn:\u00a0Q\u2660 Anthology: The Montanans, edited by Bill Pronzini and Martin H.
