Following the Frontier

A BLAZING NOVEL OF MEN AND WOMEN CAUGHT IN THE NAVAJO-CAVALRY WARS—BASED ON TRUE EVENTS

Rick Lindquist, scout under Colonel Kit Carson, is ordered to lead an Army of destruction against the Navajo driving them out—or killing them.

Captured by the Navajo, Rick meets meets Micaela Castaneda, daughter of near-by rancher, who has grown up among them and argues the Navajo cause forcefully. This was their home, their country. And the U. S. government had signed a treaty granting the land to them in perpetuity.

So Lindquist decides to help the Navajo stop Carson from driving them out. Carson brands Rick a traitor. That makes him a deserter in no-man's land. Now the Navajo will kill him on sight—and so will the Army!

Now Rick and his friend Steve Grayson are alone in the middle of the sun-parched desert. Twenty yards away, two Navajos lean against the pull of taut bowstrings! One arrow is centered between Steve's shoulders. The other has Rick's name on it. "Get rid of your gun, Steve," Rick says. "Drop it to the ground—carefully."

Rick isn't afraid to die, but he'd just as soon avoid it if he can. Suddenly the idea of death seems much more real—as real as the canyon walls that close him in, the vengeance-hungry tribe he faces, and the beautiful savage woman who stands with them .

What did Rick Linquist learn while a captive of the Navajo that changed him into one of their strongest supporters? How does Micaela Castanada whose father owns a nearby cattle ranch fit in? Has Col. Kit Carson deliberately planned certain events? Navajo Canyon provides the answers.
