Fire Dance at Spider Rock

by Les Savage Jr.

Rim Fannin will do just about anything to prove that John Romaine, the owner of White Mountain Freight, is the traitor responsible for his father's death. So when he gets word in the sooty blackness of a Tucson alley that twenty heavily guarded White Mountain wagons are traveling by night toward Tubac, Rim signs on as a mule skinner. He isn't very good with a mule whip but he manages . . . until his train is attacked by Indians and he is captured. Rim knows escape is hopeless when his captors take him to Canyon de Chelly. And late one night when the Bear Clan holds a fire dance in the shadow of Spider Rock, he realizes why he has been taken alive . . . .

[Jeff Minar · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this book which was a little different from standard Western stories. I was amazed at how much the author knows about mule-skinning and the use of the big bullwhips. Well worth the read.
