Richard Hurdis; Or, The Avenger of Blood, romance by
Simms, published in 1838 as one of his series of Border Romances. Like its sequel,
Border Beagles, it is based on the activities of the bandit
Murrell.
Richard Hurdis, an impetuous youth, leaves home after a quarrel with his villainous half‐brother John over the affections of Mary Easterly. Accompanied by a friend, he rides into Alabama, where he becomes acquainted with the operations of a mysterious outlaw clan, led by the bandit Foster. After his companion is killed, Richard poses as a gambler, worms his way into Foster's confidence, and learns the organization of the gang. With this information he is able to lead an attack that results in the band's overthrow. Although Foster escapes, John, who has been forced to join the outlaws, is killed. Richard returns home and marries Mary.
