A Story of the West Among the Tribes
The Young Frontiersman Book 4
Young Revolutionary War veteran Barnabas Locke makes winter camp in an isolated canyon in the Colorado wilderness, finding pictographs and petroglyphs made by the Ancient Ones. His elderly Arapaho mentor appears like a dream at his fire, issuing a warning but leaving behind a very real huge black dog. Barnabas uses all his frontier skills and learns new ones to survive a mountain winter, but traps himself in a manmade pit, discovers a mysterious abandoned city, and outruns an unnaturally large and beautiful spotted cat. As spring arrives, he renews his search for his friend Squando and encounters a band of Utes traveling to the annual celebration of the Bear Dance, winning the band’s approval but also the enmity of a vicious dog baiter. At the Bear Dance, all hell breaks loose and romance flourishes.

An aura of spiritualism overlays much of IDENTITY. Barnabas and his trusty horses have reached the canyonlands west of the Mississippi. There he wanders within the lost city once inhabited by the Ancient Ones. He studies with wonder a detailed cave painting, etchings, and mysterious symbols. A huge black dog mysteriously appears. Using his considerable outdoorsman skills, Barnabas prepares a winter camp. In the spring he reunites with Squando and his family. A romance hinted at in Book 3 evaporates as Barnabas embraces his true identity. A satisfying resolution of a stirring tale!
