Set against the historical backdrop of 1882-spanning the Pearl Street generating station, San Francisco press wars, and federal immigration acts- To Be the Man weaves together three concurrent story lines:

The Pursuit: Following mistaken reports of his death, refined detective Gentleman Jesse Garrett receives an extraordinarily written, atrociously spelled challenge. Refusing to let a pursuer's posture ruin the line of his coat, Jesse tracks his challenger across North America alongside his remarkably opinionated horse, The Earl of Sandwich.

The Challenger: The Man-an enormous foreigner who learned English from a waterlogged King James Bible, theatrical broadsides, and a penny dreadful-operates under a single, relentless doctrine: To be the man, thou must beateth the man. He wanders from town to town defeating local champions, leaving behind Jacobean syntax, confused bartenders, and a heavy drift of scalp flakes.
