"Nat Horne controlled the mining town of Stilikine. He had made Sim Kenyon deputy sheriff for the area with the promise that Kenyon, a rancher, could have the entire valley - once they drove out the smaller ranchers. Reed Colton had been building his ranch for ten years and he was not going to be intimidated. Twice he had been shot at, but snow had wiped out all tracks before he could cut sign of the shooter. Two other small ranchers had joined with him to protect what they had while others had given up. Now Horne and Kenyon are getting impatient and are ready to make a big move. Colton is next on their list to be forced out of the country - or under it."--,Provided by publisher.
