Slater's Way

The author of The Devil's Posse returns with the tale of one man's journey from mines to mountain trails and the dangers hunting him every step of the way....

Forced to seek refuge in the mountains of Montana away from his home, young John Slater Engels meets Teddy Lightfoot. The Crow Indian invites the boy to live with his wife and him in their small village nestled in the Absaroka Mountains. In case lawmen are still searching for him, Engels drops his legal name, keeping only his middle name: Slater.

As the years go by and Slater grows into manhood, he also becomes an excellent scout--so much so that he's hired to assist the soldiers based out of Fort Ellis. But just when Slater's future begins to look bright, he crosses paths with a dangerous Sioux war chief named Iron Pony, who vows to take his life. And as Slater's past comes back to haunt him, he's forced to make some tough decisions--decisions that may cost him everything he holds dear....
