Shaman

When a strange and deadly disease strikes the plains tribes they're baffled. Without assistance they don't know what to do or how to cure it. Mountain men Jarel, Deacon and Bear pitch in as best they can, but they know warning the surrounding tribes and settlements before it strikes might be their best hope of saving lives. Ty Fisher and Nate Grisham team up to spread the word and head off at full speed for Fort Atkinson, only to get sidetracked by a Blackfoot war party. With lives on the line it's a delay no one can afford.

Sometime later, what started as a barfight, ends in a deadly feud. Matt Spence, a nasty piece on good day, has vowed to put Nate six feet under. He means to make good on his vendetta, whatever the costs to bystanders.

The mountain men are being hunted, and tracked on their mission of mercy! They will have no choice but to solve this latest run of bad luck their own way... the mountain way.

Coming to their aid is an aged Shaman of the Sioux tribe; the Creator has told him in a dream to ride with the mountain men and to help them vanquish their foes.

If you have read any of Benton's mountain man tales you'll know they are chock full of action and battle, and this newest one may be his best to date. It's a rollicking hard day's ride with all your favorite mountain men characters.
