Title: Bitterroot
Description: He served his country with honor. Tom Allred devoted his life to the United States army. He earned commendations for his bravery during the War Between the States, and fought Indians under the command of General George Armstrong Custer. But once he chose to help the Cheyenne warrior Little Wolf escape captivity, his career as a cavalry office came to an abrupt end. But not all his countrymen were honorable. Earning a meager living as a hunter and trapper, Tom makes the small gold-mining town of Ruby's Choice his home. But when U.S. soldiers arrive for a night of carousing, Tom is forced to kill one of them to defend a woman's virtue. Now a fugitive from military justice, he has no choice but to seek the help of the very man the army so desperately wants brought down: the fierce Cheyenne--and his own blood kin- Little Wolf.
