The Civil War may be over, but fighting rages on as the United States
expands to the West. The Native Americans resist this expansion as
best they can, often responding to the slaughter of their people with
their own waves of violence. Amidst it all, there are cynical men who
see only opportunity for profit, selling the guns that accelerate the
bloodshed and preying on the vulnerable, be they Native or not. James
Hickok, a former Union soldier turned bounty hunter, wants justice
more than rewards. And he will not stop until the men who orphaned a
young girl get what they have coming—whether at the end of a noose or
the end of a gun barrel.
