A brand new adventure in a Mountain Man series from Ash Lingam!
Due to the freezing temperatures, Rusty Steel and his clan lock down for the winter in the three cabins on Beartooth Mountain in the Rockies at 10,947 feet. They spend these ten weeks kneading hides and preparing furs for their spring trip to Fort Boise, over five hundred rugged miles away. With the absence of the Rendezvous, they must take their fall and winter haul to sell at the nearest civilization. A large catch of bear, buffalo, mink, muskrat, sable, and fox skins makes for a profitable year.
The night two mules disappear, the alarm goes out. It's too late in the season for hibernating grizzly bears, and they didn't see a mountain lion carrying off both animals. Due to heavy snowfall, there are no tracks. The following day, Levi Johnson's horse vanishes, and he knows he must suffer the frigid weather to retrieve Trigger. He strikes out alone to track down the culprit and recover his fourteen-hundred-pound gelding.
Despite his insistence on going alone, the one-armed Captain Forrester unknowingly follows. The weather is too dangerous for a man to travel without backup—especially when it's his best friend. As luck would have it, his presence could mean the difference between life and death when they finally find Black Hawk—the Indian warrior hell-bent on killing the famous mountain man. Through blinding snow, whiteouts, and blizzards, they battle a daunting foe, their determination unwavering.
