Summary:
The blood of two nations ran in his veins. Pacer was a halfbreed, feared by the whites, despired by the redskins. And hated by both. When the lone warrior rode down into valley at sundown, Pacer knew that he had to choose. For Buffalo Horn carried a short war lance, and the war lance carried seven scalps on it. Buffalo Horn was a hunter.
