About This Book

A fast-paced frontier adventure follows a renowned scout as he tracks outlaws through canyons, deserts, and timbered riverbanks, answering cries for help and rescuing the vulnerable. The plot unfolds in episodic chapters of chases, ambushes, captures, and escapes, with recurring confrontations involving a Blackfeet band and a medicine man. A subplot about a woman’s quest for vengeance and stolen emeralds deepens the intrigue, while troopers and scouts set traps and mount pursuits that lead to battles, surprises, and the eventual apprehension of principal antagonists.
