Napias Creek - Paperback

by Norman Quigley (Author)

Like so many others, Dan Dolan wandered west after the brutal Civil War searching for something, but nothing in particular. His brother and father were killed in the war, his mother died of a broken heart. At Fort Hall on the Snake River, he heard that gold had been discovered in Central Idaho. At Napias Creek, he and hundreds of others found gold. With the discovery of gold came the gold camp, then the saloons, the brothels, and then the outlaws who preyed on the hardworking men who broke their backs to find a few ounces of dust each day.

With the nearest law more than 200 miles away, Dolan could no longer watch the thieves steal the claims, horses, and lives of the innocent anymore. He decided to quietly take matters into his own hands, aided only by a beautiful half-breed Indian girl, he began to administer vigilante justice at Napias Creek. If his identity is discovered, he will die.

Norman Quigley again shows his unique ability to develop characters and scenes in another hard to put down western novel. Often compared to Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey, Quigley does it again with an amazing tale of life, death, and love in the Idaho wilderness.
