Yakima Henry may be the toughest man in Arizona Territory—but as a half-white, half-Indian, he has to be. So when a pack of thieving curs leaves him in rough country minus one prized horse and two well-worn boots, he aims to get back what's his. The hell Henry raises in the process lands him in jail—but opportunity is about to spring him out. The wealthy Cleve O'Shannon, and his lovely wife, Anna have a proposition for Henry. Cleve's brother is trapped on a desolate mesa—along with a mother-lode of silver taken from their mine. He's surrounded by desperadoes and savage men. The O'Shannon's need a hard man to lead them through hell to save their family—and their fortune. For his freedom, Henry agrees. But freedom won't matter if he's not alive to enjoy it...

Winner of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Regional Award Chief Moses (Sulktalthscosum or Half-Sun) was chief of the Columbias, a Salish-speaking people of the mid Columbia River area in what is now the state of Washington. This award-winning biography by Robert Ruby and John Brown situates Moses in the opening of the Northwest and subsequent Indian-white relations, between 1850 and 1898. Early in life Moses had won a name for himself battling whites, but with the maturity and responsibilities of chieftainship, he became a diplomat and held his united tribe at peace in spite of growing white encroachment. He resisted the call to arms of his friend Chief Joseph of the Nez Percés, whose heroic campaign ended in defeat and exile to Indian Territory. Their friendship persisted, however, and after Joseph's return to the Northwest, the two lived out their lives on the reservation, sharing their frustrations and uniting their voices in complaint.
