The Blackfoot Trail

A MAN OF HONOR

Despite his apathy toward white folks, mountain man Joe Fox reluctantly agrees to lead a group of settlers through the Rockies to Oregon. Taken aback by their appreciation, he soon finds himself enjoying their company — especially the attentions of young Callie Simmons. That is, until her parents warn Joe to keep his distance.

But they should have worried about Max Starbeau. A wolf in sheep's clothing, he travels with the party until the opportunity arises to steal and murder —and then to kidnap Callie for good measure. When the settlers find themselves unable to track Starbeau, they once again turn to Joe Fox—who owes them nothing but will do anything to save Callie.
