The Devil's Fork opens with the boy Papa exclaiming, "They was
gonna hang my o'Amigo Calley Pearsall out there in front a'the
Alamo down in San Antoneya come Saturday Noon and if I was gonna
stop it I better Light a Shuck and Get on with it. And I mean Right
Now." And so Papa and his sweetheart Annie Oster set off to rescue
Calley, thereby launching themselves into another series of
hair-raising adventures. The Devil's Fork concludes the enthralling
journey through wild and woolly Central Texas in the 1880s that
began in The Devil's Backbone and The Devil's Sinkhole. Papa
springs Calley from jail, but their troubles are far from over.
Framed for murder, the two amigos have to flee for their lives.
Joining their flight this time is o'Johnny, the evil Sheriff Pugh's
disabled little brother, who has uncanny abilities. Escaping danger
for a while, Papa and Calley try to start a new life as horse
traders, only to find themselves branded as horse thieves when
o'Johnny and a mysterious white ghost horse begin rescuing abused
horses from their masters. Can Papa and Calley escape the noose and
save all the horses that Johnny and the White Horse liberate? Or
will their own hot tempers send them down the Devil's Fork, from
which no one ever returns? Proving himself a master storyteller
once again, Bill Wittliff spins a yarn as engrossing as the stories
his own Papa told him long ago, stories that inspired The Devil's
Backbone, The Devil's Sinkhole, and The Devil's Fork.
