Synopsis

In a land of legends and mighty warriors, one fatal gunshot changes the course of a nation. Torn between two races, a white man raised by Blackfeet Indians is propelled across the vast, unexplored Northwest wilderness of the early 1800s in this historically accurate adventure of a desperate mission to defend his adopted people from invasion by ruthless white fur traders. ''... Mr. Hubbard has reversed a time - honored formula and has given a thriller to which, at the end of every chapter or so, another paleface bites the dust... (has) an enthusiasm, even a freshness and sparkle, decidedly rare in this type of romance.'' - New York Times
