Publisher's Synopsis
'You were born into a cruel world, David, and there are times when you have to be tough to journey through it, but be sure of one thing. Be proud of your journey. Don't live in a way that will make you ashamed of it later'. Dave Rand often thought on these words spoken by his mother after they'd heard his father had been killed in the Civil War. A few years later his mother and step-father were murdered and Dave left Colorado. A little over a decade later, government agent Dave Rand returns to Colorado, still heeding his mother's words. The Milk Creek Massacre has left a legacy of hatred that lies like tinder around the Territory. Caught between land-hungry settlers and war-hungry Utes, Rand's only hope is to tell the truth - even if it could cost him his life. This world may be cruel, but at least he can be proud of the way he journeys through it.
