Under the veil of one of the oldest and most tragic myths known to humankind, a king is born. Magnus King, the son of a well-born English woman, continues his family’s aristocratic legacy on the frontier of the American West until the night a deadly shooting changes everything. Young Earl Ransom, a man found long ago on the Cheyenne prairie with no memory of his past or of how his destiny is linked to that of Magnus King, finds his way through a tale as old and tragic as the Greek myth of Oedipus.

Riders of judgment (The Gregg Press Western fiction series)

In 1862, the largest Indian uprising in American history occurred in southern Minnesota. Enraged Sioux attempted to throw off the broken treaties that still bound them and to avenge the insults and depredations they had been forced to bear. Hundreds of whites were killed. Women were taken captive. Told from the point of view of Judith Raveling, a young woman widowed by the uprising, Scarlet Plume draws on the brutal history of the conflict from beginning to end. Taken captive by the Sioux she is given to Scarlet Plume, one of the many warriors who know their cause is lost. Caught between the men who would wage war ruthlessly and his own judgment, which tells him how dearly the Sioux will pay for every white killed, Scarlet Plume tries to save all he can. Through the dangers of a pitiless war he returns Judith to the safety of her people. Soon she must try to save him.Scarlet Plume is the third of Frederick Manfred's five-volume series, the Buckskin Man Tales.

From the rear cover of this 237 page book: "Frederick Manfred's first novel, 'The Golden Bowl', written in 1942 and published in 1944, remains among the best of his more than 30 books. Most famous for his Buckskin Man novels beginning with 'Lord Grizzly' in 1954, Manfred's vision of power and sweep of Mid-America resonates throughout his work with an epic enormity. In Siouxland, men's deeds down through the generations are as awe-inspiring as the sweep of the prairie or the vistas of the mountains. 'The Golden Bowl', often compared favorably to John Steinbeck's 'Grapes of Wrath', captures the Dust Bowl struggle of the Thor family on their western Dakota farm. The novel celebrates the strength of a people with optimism so powerful they can look beyond the arid, devastated prairies to glimpse the future promise of a golden bowl of plenty. Rather than run away to a false Eden in California, they will stay on the land and survive. Fifty years later, Manfred's story remains powerfully contemporary. Pa Thor's abiding faith in the bounty of a sometimes-harsh land still lives in today's East River farmer, West River rancher, or small town business owner, hanging on through hard times and good. Manfred shows us that out of the great land grows a spiritual strength still vital for us today. This Golden Anniversary edition returns a powerful first book to public attention and honors the life's work of an important American writer whose creative output continues undiminished today."
