Frontier Scout, Dan'l Boone #12

Dan'l Boone visits Chief Big Elk and discovers that young brave Silver Wolf and his hot-headed companions are itching for a frontier war, scornful of the peace their elders have negotiated with the white settlers.

It's a taut frontier tale of justice and grit in a land where the only law that matters is the one a man's willing to fight for.
