As a freelance writer, Jack Naile was used to getting an occasional letterfrom one of his readers — but when one of those readers sends him aclipping from a magazine, it would not only change his life, but could alter thecourse of history as well. The clipping had a photo, taken in Nevada in 1903, ofa street scene, including a story with a sign, “Jack Naile — GeneralMerchandise.” Intrigued, Jack phoned the Nevada town's historian and askedfor more information. When the historian sent him a photo of the 19th centuryJack Naile, what had seemed like an interesting coincidence immediately becamemuch more bizarre. The four people in the photo, dressed in the style of thetime, were unmistakably Jack, his wife, their grown son and teenage daughter.Jack decided he would have to take a trip to that town to investigate further.And if he and his family were somehow going to travel back in time, he was goingto be prepared — and be well-armed.
