Starting out for Tucson, Ten and Lolotea are married by a traveling preacher. Ten finds out his Pa went to Salt Lake City, so they head that way. After crossing the Colorado River, Ten has to take a job as Deputy Sheriff of Kanab, Utah. He stops a major bank robbery, then is accused of stealing a horse. This is simply a cover allowing Lolotea to be kidnapped by a self-important Mormon Elder. When the Elder doesn’t show for the trial, Ten is released. He faces hostile Utes, a vengeful old man and his sons, and near death from wounds in his search for Lolotea. An old man from his Pa’s past comes along and helps him rescue Lolotea. The old man is killed in a shoot-out with past enemies, but lives long enough to give Ten some confusing news.

Been following Ten since book one and each new one is a little better than the previous release. This is an extraordinarily outstanding western adventure that has a lot of sadness throughout, but all is well that ends well.

Outstanding storylines that reaches out and grabs your attention immediately, and definitely tugs at your heartstrings from beginning to end. Mr. Winkle is one of the very best in his selection of characters that definitely portrays their assigned roles to perfection. This outstanding masterpiece is definitely worthy of five stars, as there is one exciting episode after the other, and enough gunfights to satisfy your every whim.
Charlie definitely portrays a very heartwarming and compassionate roles in his short time with Ten, and the certainly sit talk in the saddle when confronting the bad guys. Ten cuts to the chase when his wife is kidnapped and each new episode during his recovery attempts is definitely worthy of following. There are a few suspenseful moments that will certainly increase your heart rate, so just hang in there and ride along with Ten and Charlie, as they will somehow bring justice, regardless of the cost.
Most definitely recommend this outstanding old western folklore adventure to all but again especially you followers of outstanding western adventures, as you will be on the edge of your seat as each new episode grabs you and will not turn you lose until the final dramatic ending. You non-western imbibers will even shed a tear or two, as the dramatic episodes develops before your very eyed. Try it! You will definitely enjoy this compassionately outstanding, and descriptive rendition of how our old West was finally tamed!😀

Finally the truth comes out!

I am a Mormon. The Mormons traveled to Utah because they were persecuted and killed because of their beliefs. I hope no elders were like this one in the story. Some western writers like to use their beliefs and oddities to make a spicy story. There is evil and good people in all walks of life. I think it is funny that the father is killing people wherever he goes and Ten is leaving a trail of people he has killed behind him. I hope soon they meet up and the killing stops?? Ha, ha.
I do like how Ten loves his Indian wife and they are of such help to each other.

It follows along with series

I'm not real sure what C. Wayne Winkle was going for here with Ten but as a man that came out of civil war as captain he sure seems not real bright. He had no clue his dad and Noble Blake were same person yet everything pointed that way. He ran out of money after paying 10 times as much as worth for everything but never takes the horses, guns from people he kills or goes threw their pockets just leave it in the wild.

DON'T MESS WITH TEN

It's finally happened LoLotea have gotten married by a traveling minister, whom happened to meet up in the desert. Ten asked the minister would he marry them..no problem. As Ten said he and LoLotea are married, but LoLotea said if this is the White man's way, then I will marry Ten..congratu-
lations to them both.
Ten's money was running low so he told LoLotea he had to get a job so that they could continue looking for his father. While Deputy Sheriff for town of Kanab, Utah which was a small Mormon town. While carrying out his duties, he stopped a bank robbery, a big shoot out but Ten's accuracy and staunch defense ended the bank robbery.
He received a reward for Ring the leader of gang.
Three hundred dollars was a lot of money in those days.
Someone has kidnapped LoLoTea and no one seems to have heard or saw anything, but Ten has and idea whose responsible for her disappearance
it was Elder Ward..shame on him.
That was the worse mistake that this man could make..Totally disrespectful of another man's wife. The elder said she's only an Indian Ten could buy another Indian woman, but Elder wanted LoLotea
and no man would defy me...wrong wrong.
Ten rescues LoLoytea kills the elder and now their way out; but man named Otho, who was tracking Ten hoping to torture him for the whereabouts of
Noble Parker/Wes St. John.
Charlie Flannagan as he lay dying he revealed a secret to Ten that Noble Parker and Wes St. John
are the same!! I knew it I knew it, Noble Parker was Ten's father..don't that beat all!!!👀
We will say to Ten and his wife LoLotea congratulation upon your marriage, happy that you were rescued from the polygamist Elder Ward. Glad that Ten was finally told that Noble Parker is his father...KUDOS KUDOS and watch your trail keep your coffee hot and your powder dry...yeah yeah

I love the continuing adventures of Ten St John. Although he is a little slow witted where his father is concerned.

Very adventurous. I'm sure the author must have done a lot of research of the territories traveled by Tennyson and of the Ute and Piute Indians. Loved that all the bad guys haven't survived so far.
