A new tale in the Youngest Mountain Man saga. As Eagle Talon(Jared) and Fire Eyes are scouting ahead, they're looking for an enemy tribes' raiding party, but instead discover something bone chilling. A massacre of pioneers, freedmen and runaway slaves who hoped to make a fresh start in the open spacesof the West. When Nate Grisham arrives he's suspicious, it doesn't look like an Indian attack to him. When Nate digs deeper into the pioneers history, he uncovers the shocking truth behind their attack. A rich and power rancher ordered their slaying. This news doesn't sit right with Grisham, or the younger pair. But seeking justice isn't going to be easy. The crooked rancher owns nearly all the local businesses in town and even has the local sheriff in his payroll. With trusty Cotton and the boys by his side, Nate starts a war he intends to finish, no matter how long it takes, or how bloody the battle might get. But it turns out treacherous ranch hands and hired killers aren't his only worry, a gang of no good horse-thieving, river-front cut-throats and slaver scum are tracking Nate and the survivors. They hope to claim the huge bounties on the runaways and on Nate too if they can get the chance to capture him. A good many battles and shootouts are a given in this fantastic follow-up to the hit, The Youngest Mountain Man.
