Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Shortly after the Civil War, George Tanner, part Cherokee, with a Harvard degree, returns to his home territory in the Cherokee Nation. He is quickly deputized by Sheriff "Go-Ahead Rider," who expects trouble over a projected railroad that will affect the Cherokee capital city, Tahlequah. When an important anti-railroad man is murdered, Rider and Tanner track down the suspects. Despite a pedestrian style that slows the action and fails to give life to the characters, Conley brings many details of life in the Cherokee Nation into his story, which help to hold the reader's interest. He proves, once again, that patience and perseverance will get your man, or woman.
