Eager to save his brother--wrongly convicted of a crime--from Fort Laramie's hangman's noose, half-breed Bart Chandler devises a plan to kidnap the daughter of Fort Laramie's commanding officer. Original.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. He was part Sioux, born and raised with them until he reached his younger teens. When the Bluecoats raided his village he was saved and eventually reunited with his rich grandfather. Ten years have since gone by and he decides to return to the Sioux to see his family. He discovers his 1/2 brother accused of a murder. He sets out to prove him innocent and in doing so takes a white female captive. She becomes the bargaining tool for his brother's release. This of course backfires and all are now on the run. HEA ending.
