The settlers believed Clay Taggart was a ruthless desperado, a deadly gunman with neither conscience nor soul. The army said he was a white Apache, and should be left to rot under the desert sun. But Taggart was just an innocent man with a bounty on his hide. With a motley band of Apaches, he roamed the vast southwest, waiting for the day when he could clear his name … and fighting any bounty hunter foolish enough to take him on. David L.
