The Jinx of Payrock Canyon (Wilderness Mystery Series #2). Troy Nesbit. Racine, WI: Whitman Publishing Co. (1952). First edition. Original dust jacket. Jay has lived in a once well-populated mining town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains for all of his fifteen years. Orphaned when he was very young, he spends most of his time working at his grandmother’s store or as a cattlehand in Payrock Canyon with his friend, Doc. Toward the end of the summer, all sorts of strange things start to happen in Payrock. The town curmudgeon claims it has something to do with a wandering stranger who carries an odd box…but will the boys be able to stop whatever’s going on before all of the canyon’s wildlife disappears? -- source link
