Publisher's Synopsis
The Columbia River Posse rides through a time nearly forgotten in the history of the Oregon country. Locally elected lawmen combine with cattlemen, ranch hands and makeshift stragglers to put together a posse that must track a killer across the frozen and trackless wilderness of eastern Oregon and the mountains of Idaho. The hunt finally narrows down to a historic tracker from the Nez Perce Indian nation. A man of the wild, whose skills of youth finally focus down into this one last trail of an old warrior from the past. He is joined by a late comer to Oregon, a retired Texas Ranger, who's only goal is to return to Texas and escape the cold winters of Oregon. A trail that can not be seen in the frozen ground, snow drifts and wind that slow the posse's painful progress and a professional man gone bad, who knows how to elude a posse, or deal with the unfortunate lawman who might catch up with him.
