The Buffalo Hunters
Description
Captain Lee Quince discovers slaughtered buffalo on tribal territory, and Native Americans didn't kill them. Buffalo hunters have returned, taking only the finest meat and leaving the rest to rot. If the soldiers can't stop these hunters, war with the tribes threatens. Quince realizes they must move quickly to catch the hunters before disaster strikes.
Captain Quince is trailing those who are slaughtering buffalo on Indian land. An excellent story.
Captain Lee Quince finds butchered buffalo on reservation land, and it ain't the work of Indians. The buffalo hunters are back, only taking the best meat and wasting the rest. If the cavalry can't stop them, a war with the tribes looms. Quince knows they must act fast to catch the hunters before it's too late.
Fort Laramie was a significant 19th-century trading post, diplomatic site, and military installation located at the confluence of the Laramie and the North Platte Rivers. They joined in the upper Platte River Valley in the eastern part of the present-day US state of Wyoming. The fort was founded as a private trading post in the 1830s to service the overland fur trade; in 1849, it was purchased by the United States Army. The site was located east of the long climb leading to the best and lowest crossing over the Rocky Mountains at South Pass and became a popular stop for migrants on the Oregon Trail. Along with Bent's Fort on the Arkansas River, the trading post and its supporting industries and businesses were the most significant economic hub of commerce in the region.
