About This Book

A mounted police superintendent and his small detachment work to keep law along a railway construction line amid growing suspicion and unrest among nearby Indigenous groups. Urgent trail reports set patrols in motion, leading to encounters at camps, exploration of a sun-dance canyon, and the rescue and medical care of a severely wounded youth by compassionate camp members. Confrontations with outlaws and escalating tensions force strategic decisions, culminating in a final patrol whose outcomes and the motives behind a resident physician's choice to stay bring the narrative to a close.
