Welcome
Jacob Bartholomule -- known only as Jake B – learned how to deal with hard men while growing up in the logging camps of northern Michigan. A widow hires the drifter and lawyer Howard Edgemont to find her son Dan, who’s struck it rich in the frozen north. Taking care of a little Easterner – and a lawyer to boot -- is not part of Jake’s plan but he doesn’t have many options.

Relying on the wilderness skills he learned from the Indians, Jake keeps Howard alive, only to face a bloodthirsty band of hired gunmen. Read more
