Brief description:

BLOOD FEUD

Cattle started it—cattle and buffalo. Hoss Boggs wanted the Indians’ wild herds off his grazing land and a maid Scotsman and buff-hunter named McFarland fanned the flames of war between the volatile Arapaho and the greedy cattlemen.

What "Easy" doesn’t need is a full-blown love affair between the youngest Boggs and the Chiefs dark-eyed daughter-just
as the two sides careen toward an all-out war...

If, after that time, your justice has not worked . . his eyes swept the plains and his voice became distant . . . “we will be at war..."
