  They came out of
  
  
  the mountains, a
  
  
  tight-riding bunch just like a breath from the past in their
  
  
  blood-stiff, stained and reeking buckskins. They all wore beaver
  
  
  tail caps, and their hair was shoulder-length, their features
  
  
  almost completely hidden behind bushy, matted beards. They were the
  
  
  Buckskinners, and they robbed and often killed to get what they
  
  
  wanted.
  
  
  But now it seemed that
  
  
  they’d gone into the kidnapping business, and the husband of the
  
  
  beautiful woman they’d abducted was very specific about what he
  
  
  wanted Yancey Bannerman and Johnny Cato to do about it.
  
  
  If possible, they were to
  
  
  save his wife. But one way or the other, they were to kill the
  
  
  Buckskinners—every last one of them.
