Summary
1894. Twelve-year-old Jake Bannock assumes that he is an orphan after he sees his actor-father's coffin lowered into the ground at Blow- fly, Nevada. If one discounts the rumor that Sam Bannock had con- cealed a cache of diamonds, Jake's… only inheritance is his father's part-wolf mongrel dog. His father called the dog Amigo; Jake calls him Jim Ugly. Together they set out to learn the truth about Sam's supposed demise--and the diamonds. For grades 4-7. 1992
