Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Knight in Denim
Tro city is in Nebraska, though you may not readily find it on an ordinary map. Many years ago a party of pioneers, journeying through those parts, were set upon and slaughtered by redskins - that is to say, an atrocity took place; and the place, in the mysterious dispensation of frontier usage, took thereupon the name of Atrocity. After awhile the railway came through and built a station and it was called Atrocity. But when a town sprang up and ?ourished and began to put on airs - how about Atrocity then? Of course the implications were degrading, and it was accounted a very happy thought when somebody pointed out that by making two words of the name and ex alting a small letter into a capital, not only would all offence be done away with, but a designation would be achieved having nowhere its like.
