Synopsis
Two hundred vast miles stretching west of Fort Laramie—this was a country! No wonder the Indians were prepared to fight for it. Ferociously, with massacre and fire they swept down on yet another wagon train. One wagon mysteriously escaped. In it, the major's daughter and a dashing, hell-for-leather cavalry officer with renegade notions—and sixty thousand dollars in gold. Ready for anything, they made their stand.
