Summary

HIS FAMOUS NOVEL OF THE CIVIL WAR-THE BLOODY STRUGGLE FOR THE RICHES OF THE WILD NORTHWEST AND THE DESPERATE FIGHT OF A MAN AND WOMAN TO HOLD IT FOR THE UNION.IN THE CIVIL WAR the Copperheads almost took over the state of Oregon. Big Adam Musick, river-boat pilot, went out to stop them. He caught Ringrose, the Copperhead leader, holed up in a dark warehouse beside the flooding river. "I came to get you, Ringrose," Musick said. "God damn you!" Ringrose shouted. The floor jumped as his gun went off, and Musick felt the heat of the bullet. Then he tackled Ringrose around the knees and they went crashing together down the flimsy stairway into the waist-deep water. Musick was on top of his enemy, choking him, holding him under to drown. Ringrose was everything he hated. Then he remembered. This wasn't just his fight. This was his country's war and Ringrose should hang for a traitor, not die by one man's hand
