About This Book
Three former cavalrymen organize a winter wolf‑hunting venture on the buffalo plains, outfitting a camp, poisoning carcasses to attract wolves, and harvesting pelts. Their season brings supply problems, severe weather, and repeated encounters with Native peoples and rival hunters, producing raids, captures, and armed skirmishes. Episodes combine scouting, trade, and tense negotiations as friendships and leadership are tested. Practical detail about equipment and labor is interwoven with action‑driven chapters that follow how the men confront danger, loss, and the harsh economics of frontier wolfing.
