Book excerpt: A scout must rescue a woman from hostile territory in this classic western from Charles G. West... When the daughter of a prominent Chicago newspaperman runs off to experience the wild frontier for herself, the U.S. Cavalry calls on Jason Coles to track her down. Her trail leads to the Big Horn country, known for the proud Sioux nations. Coles has no difficulty finding the headstrong young lady, but getting her out alive may be the last thing he'll ever do. Traveling through territory swarming with war parties, treacherous white traders, and an unforgiving environment, Coles is pushed to the limits of human endurance. “The West as it really was—savage, heroic, and unforgettable.”—Ralph Compton
