Amos is a rogue with few redeeming values. The first we see of him in the book he is robbing a stagecoach then going into the next town to hide in the persona of a circuit riding preacher. The blind, black man that works in the jail, Joseph, is not fooled, but he sees that the outlaw is doing a lot of good for the community. He's doing it for all the wrong reasons, of course, but good results all the same. Joseph forces Amos to continue the charade and helps him since the outlaw has never even been to church. Amos escapes tight spot after tight spot, but we know he is eventually going to be won over by the strong faith of Joe. It's an uphill battle, though, and we wonder if it's ever going to happen.
