Mountain Renegade

Wanted for a murder he didn't commit, Gordon Hawkes has spent more than thirty years as a fugitive in his mountain refuge. Hardened by time and grief-stricken over the death of his wife, Hawkes has one joy left in life: his daughter Grace, the recent bride of Captain Brand Gunnison of the Colorado Volunteers.

When the army orders Gunnison to establish an outpost in hostile Cheyenne country, it puts Gordon's last surviving family member in grave peril. The legendary mountain man knows that the only way to ensure his daughter's safety is to join the campaign, even while he loathes the army's brutal and sometimes senseless dealings with the "Indian scourge".

But the army had badly underestimated their Cheyenne foes, and as a whirlwind of bloody conflict descends upon the plains, Gordon Hawkes is faced with a grim choice: fight for what he knows is right, or for the life of his daughter!

THE SIXTH AND FINAL ENTRY IN THE EPIC MOUNTAIN MAN SERIES BY JASON MANNING, WHICH INCLUDES MOUNTAIN PASSAGE, MOUNTAIN MASSACRE, MOUNTAIN COURAGE, MOUNTAIN VENGEANCE AND MOUNTAIN HONOR.
