About This Book

A frontier mining community is torn by bitter rivalry between two factions of miners, each organized with signals, passwords, and partisan bands identified by colored ribbons. Tensions erupt into riots, attacks on haciendas, and desperate defenses led by a bold captain who coordinates strategy and rescues. Personal intrigues—jealousy, spies, and a young woman's romantic entanglements—intersect with betrayals and confessions that complicate loyalties. Episodes move through captures, imprisonment, and perilous cave encounters to daring rescues and final explanations that reveal hidden motives and resolve competing claims.
