The Crimson Coyotes: Or, Nita, the Nemesis This serial by Major Sam S. Hall ("Buckskin Sam"), author of *Diamond Dick* and other frontier tales, begins in post-Civil War San Antonio. Wealthy banker Norman Norrington employs two clerks: the treacherous Rodney Reed, a swarthy gambler and drinker nursing childhood trauma from his mother's crimes in New Orleans, and the virtuous Clarence Coleman, fair-haired and universally admired. Both secretly love Norrington's beautiful seventeen-year-old daughter Nora. Reed plots to frame Coleman for theft and ruin the banker's family to satisfy his hatred of mankind—excepting only Nora, whom he desires to possess. Coleman approaches the Norrington mansion for a clandestine meeting with Nora by the riverside. The narrative establishes a Western romance with melodramatic conflict centered on theft, passion, social ruin, and frontier morality.
