When Brent Stoddard, frontier Marshal, discovered the body of Pierre Villers, murdered Southern planter, he found a locket containing the picture of a beautiful girl.

How he quelled a band of river pirates and found a bride at the end of the trail makes one of the most thrilling stories ever to come from Charles Alden Seltzer's gifted pen.
