A Nate Grisham Tale
Captured deep in Blackfoot territory with death all but certain, Nate Grisham does what few men would dare — he demands the right to run the Gauntlet. Armed with nothing but raw grit and sheer will, he races for his life, unarmed and pursued by warriors intent on his demise.
Once reunited with old friends Jeb, Bugs, and his son Little Nate, he’s barely had time to recover when a group of Southern missionaries come calling — offering good money to guide them to the local tribes. Nate turns them down flat. It doesn’t take long to see why: their leader, Brit Rye, is a self-righteous zealot who insults the Sioux by denouncing their tribal beliefs and their God — earning the group a swift and dangerous expulsion from the territory.
But it’s what Nate spots traveling with the missionaries that truly ignites his fury — slaves, forced to serve these so-called men of God on the open plains.
When their paths cross again, the tension that’s been building finally explodes. What begins as a confrontation becomes a vendetta — and on the frontier, vendettas have only two endings: one side leaves, or one side dies.
Crackling with action and moral fire, this is frontier adventure at its grittiest — another bold chapter in the Nate Grisham Tales from acclaimed Western author W.R. Benton.
