MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE!
The folk on the wagon train didn't stand a chance. Not against the hordes of Indians who first ambushed them. Nor the religious zealots who promised help and then betrayed them. Men, women, all but the youngest children were slaughtered.
Jennie was slender and pale - her little girl was one of those held prisoner. She came to Lee Fisher for help. Fisher didn't trust her; he didn't trust anything about it. But he went anyway.
The senseless killing, the hypocrisy, it burned a raw hole in his gut - and he knew it could only be released through the barrel of his gun.
