Publisher's Synopsis
The Oregon Territory was a beacon of hope for many seeking a new start after the war. Wild and beautiful this land promised a new life for those who came there. And so wagon trains from the east filled with families seeking a new start in this promised land, this paradise... But like the paradise in the good book there was temptation there also. And it was also in Oregon. Seems the settlers were having trouble with the Paiute tribe and there were raids on their stock and lives were lost. The army had allotted land to the tribe but both sides had taken liberties with the boundaries. It was Washington who decided to send Buck Cross a newly appointed federal marshal who was familiar with the various tribes being he was himself the son of a Kiowa princess and a trapper but he was also Lone Wolf, the only grandson of Yelllow Moon chief of the Kiowa nation. At the Army's request, Buck must find out who is getting the Paiutes restless and who is supplying them with weapons. It is on this mission that Buck finds his path and who will share that lifetime with and balancing both worlds and content with being both native and white.
