Black Clouds and Epitaphs
ByPublisher Description
Based on actual events, this gripping tale unfolds as young Trace Savage follows a trail of blood and plunder across the rugged frontier of the late 1860's in dogged pursuit of the brutal band of border bandits who murdered his parents. One by one, he overtakes and faces the killers, branding the corpses he leaves behind with the mark of the serpent. Savage becomes partners with Stalkin' Sam Irons, an aging mountain man, and together they travel the rugged backbone of the Rockies. When Sam is killed in a pitched battle with warring Blackfeet, Trace continues to Idaho Territory. An exciting horse race, a life and death struggle with a marauding grizzly and a tender love affair move this fast-paced adventure toward an exciting, powerful climax, pitting Trace Savage against the leader of the murderous raiders. This title was previously released in print as MARK OF THE SERPENT.

About Pete Peterson
Hi. I'm Pete Peterson. I am an Oklahoma author and an artist. My novels are not great literature. My paintings are not masterpieces. But if you are regular folks like me, you may like what I do. My writing stems from a lifelong fascination with the American West... it's history, myths and legends. The great-grandson of a Confederate veteran and descendant of Cherokees who trudged the Trail Of Tears, I became a student and devotee of frontier history and fiction at an early age. My novels are campfire tales, thoroughly and painstakingly researched and true to the conditions and character of the land and it's inhabitants as they existed then. So browse my web site at www.petepetersonok.com. Order a print, buy a painting or a book, or just drop me an e-mail and let me know you appreciate what I've done.
