"Kirby had carried a seven-year grudge with him wherever he went. He'd followed Joe Lowry from Wyoming through Montana, New Mexico, Missouri and the Dakotas. But now that he'd found his man, Mason Kirby was stuck. Because there was real trouble in the territory. Further north, the Sioux and Cheyenne were joining forces as they had never done before. At Fort Fetterman the Army sat, tense with anticipation, waiting for a call for help. Now, of all times, they did not want anyone running around loose on a trail of private vengeance. So, very smoothly, the Army railroaded Kirby into "volunteering" as a scout. But the Army underestimated Mason Kirby."--,Provided by publisher.
