Hard Winter at Broken Arrow Crossing Stephen Bly

A horrific blizzard was only the start of Stuart Brannon's troubles. For a man who didn't need another disaster, the fierce winter at Broken Arrow Crossing couldn't have come at a worse time. Brannon had just abandoned his Arizona ranch, sick with grief over losing his wife and baby son in childbirth, as well as all his cattle by disease. That's when the vicious Colorado blizzard struck. Half-frozen, Brannon stumbles into the isolated stage station at the Crossing. There he finds a wounded prospector and attempts to nurse him back to health. Winter storms draw other stragglers to the station--an abused, pregnant Indian girl and a band of naive gold seekers. Drawn into their desperate plights, Brannon plunges into a dangerous mission to rescue a young boy from the Utes, and then himself as he becomes the target of an outlaw band. Written in the tradition of Zane Grey, Luke Short, and Louis L'Amour, "Hard Winter at Broken Arrow Crossing" recreates the tumultuous old West where good battles evil.
