An isolated military outpost in a remote region of the Department of the Upper Missouri. An embittered commandant who believes unkind fate kept him from fame and glory during the recent War of Secession. A band of starving Blackfeet too riddled with smallpox to withdraw to their reservation. A yound mixed-breed army interpreter whose aging parents are with the Blackfeet tries to prevent a massacre-in-the-making; he's beaten and dragged to the guardhouse for the attempt. Thus the stage is set and principal characters in place for the opening pages of Echoes of Vengeance

While other writers played at cowboy and mountain man games, Roland was living the life: Over two decades as a guide leading others to horseback adventure through rugged mountains. Along the way, he's straddled broncs across 35,000 miles of the most perilous trails in the American West. While others pursued girls and grist amid the click of eight balls on their way to corner pockets, Roland survived blizzards, bucked wildfires, fought his way through windstorms, braced raging rivers, and shivered to close disaster from roaring avalanches.
Let other writers talk of replacing the incomparable Louis L'Amour, Roland isn't interested. Instead, he'll write from his own experiences. It's that hands-on, real-life insight, along with the man's passion for the land and a way of life, that makes his writing so vivid, so exciting, so real.
