North to Deadwood — Wayne D. Overholser

THE BIG MAN
Dakota Jones was big -- a big-fisted, big-boned man with a temper big enough for a dozen mountain men.

Sam Hargadine was his opposite -- a gambler whose icy self-control was his greatest weapon. But Sam needed Dakota. Only he could lead a wagon train of liquor, women and gold over the stretch of hell between them and Deadwood.

So Dakota was in charge -- and he wasn't about to take a backward step...even when the scalp-hungry Sioux swept down from the hills...even when a gang of vicious guns decided they had the bullets to cut a big man down to size....
