No Name — Richard S. Wheeler

There is something sinister about Throatlatch, Wyoming. When a young man with no name wanders there, in the 1880s, he finds himself in big trouble. From that moment, Throatlatch fascinates him. He doesn't know why. But he knows he is seeing pure evil, sometimes obscured by strange ideals. When the railroad arrives, Throatlatch vanishes and a Utopia called New Dawn springs to life, and No Name is not sure which is worse. But he sticks around to find out.
