Another of Parnsh's absorbing
stories of thrillin adventure
and clean romance. It is a
tale of the middle west just
before the Black Hawk War,
and the plot of the story turns
upon the thwarting by a young
army ofliccr of the devilish
schemes of a notorious Mississippi
River gambler against the beauti
ful daughter of a southern planter.
As a romance it's one of the
author's best and a notable con
