Publisher Description
Two hunters have a dangerous showdown with a deadly Sioux warrior in this western from Charles G. West...
In the winter of 1866, trail partners Matt Slaughter and Ike Brister are hunting elk in the high lonesome of the Bighorn Mountains. But a clash with the Sioux—led by the dreaded Iron Claw—turns the knee-deep snow red with blood. Only the deadly rapid-fire of Matt’s Henry rifle—the feared spirit gun—gets him and Ike out alive.
Back at Fort Laramie, Matt and Ike sign up as cavalry scouts. Prospectors on the Bozeman Trail are an endangered species, especially now that Iron Claw has declared war on all whites using the trail. When Matt’s girl is taken captive, a bloody showdown with Iron Claw is inevitable. And it’s destined to take place beyond the mountains Matt and Ike fled for dear life—in a valley called Little Bighorn…
“Rarely has an author painted the great American West in strokes so bold, vivid, and true.”—Ralph Compton

A ride through Wyoming territory!
There is not a dull moment in this book, from chapter 1 to 17. The book starts out with Matt and Ike, camping and hunting in the bighorn mountains of Wyoming. They were hunting elk, when they ran into this Sue hunting party, led by this mean sucker warrior called iron claw, who is the chief of this Sue village. Throughout this book, the author Charles G. West, will capture your imagination in the vivid details of the scenery, plus the lor and the history as this epic story unfolds. This is one book that you're not gonna wanna miss!!!
