Publisher Description
From Spur Award-winning author Charles G. West comes a blistering tale of the American West, where guns are the law, good men are outnumbered—and sudden death is a way of life . . .
MASSACRE IN MONTANA
Raised among the Blackfoot, John Hawk is a valuable asset to the US Army. As a military scout at Fort Ellis, he is able to cross the line between two worlds—and help keep the peace. But when he disobeys a direct order from his commander, Hawk is immediately dismissed from his post. That was the army’s first mistake.
The second was losing track of a small mule train en route to Helena. At the request of his former lieutenant, Hawk leaves his cabin on the Boulder River to help find the missing party. The mule train, it appears, was ambushed by a savage gang of outlaws. Most of the travelers were murdered. Only a few survived to tell the tale. And now it’s up to Hawk to stalk the killers across the lawless Montana territory—alone. No backup. No calvary. No mercy . . .
“Rarely has an author painted the great American West in strokes so bold, vivid, and true.”
—Ralph Compton

Montana tana tana territory!!!
Hawk gets fired from scouting for the army by lieutenant mead, but it leads to this wowing experience. Winter flower and her sister morning sky were in the woods, less than a day journey from the reservation on foot, when they came into contact with these two men, who grabs them, and tied up winter flower, instructing morning sky to run back to the reservation. They try to sexually assault her, but she managed to push them off because they were so drunk. The hour of Winter flower's escape came, when this hawk came flying over, and dropped a feather on her. Winter flower managed to break free from the ropes which held her, which they didn't do a good job of at the time. They started shooting at the birds, allowing her to escape. John Hawke finds Winter flower in this raspberry bush patch across the river from where they were, and Hawk manages to put to an end those two men who captured her. Hawk takes Winter flower back to her reservation, earning their respect, and respect of her father. Winter flower and hawk end up exchanging feathers, which was a cool part of this book. The rest of the book is one big Hunt fest, through Montana's rugged parts. All I can say is, this book will keep you on your toes from the first chapter, even to the 20th. There's even a teaser chapter for Crow Creek crossing. One thing leaves wondering about this series, and that is What happens to him after this book. I wish the author, Charles G. West, would write a book after that, detailing more of his story.
