Publisher's Synopsis
When Nate Tallhelm left his homestead to visit his uncle's place hard by the eastern slopes of the continental divide in 1870, he had no idea of the adventures-and dangers-that lay ahead.His mission to rescue his bushwhacked cousin would bring him to the Kettle of Tears, one of most awe-inspiring and forbidding landscapes he'd ever seen. Respected and revered by the Nez Perce, it was also home to a citadel-like outpost that commanded the region from its high perch-the Crow's Nest, home to a motley crew of mostly friendly characters making their way best they could in a hard environment. Here, with the help of his Indian friends, Nate would have to use all the skills he possessed to survive gunplay, wild animals, and even all-out war with villains more evil than any he could have imagined. It would also lead him to find a woman he could spend the rest of his life with back on that spread up in the Yellowstone.
