He
rode into Crofton with a big black man and a quiet killer named Jack. A
few hours later he'd gunned down a man for stealing a horse he stolen himself
- and made deadly enemies of a vicious bounty hunter and an outlaw gang. For
Jeston Nash, lookalike cousin of Jesse James, it was a bad way to start a
trip to Powder River. -- In 1868, as U.S. Cavalry begins another romp towards manifest destiny in the heart of Indian land, the Sioux Nation is ripped apart by one tribe's angry death throes and another tribe's greed. -- Not above greed themselves, and plenty used to killing, Nash, Quiet Jack Smith and the mysterious black man named Big Shod road on into the storm. From a plan to deal in stolen horses, they found themselves fighting madmen, warriors and thieves - not just for their lives, not just for gold, but for the difference between right and wrong. -- Copyright Ralph Cotton 1995
