The Death Train — William M. James

They came from the East. A small wagon train of men, women and children. Mormons in search of land beyond the Sierra Mogollons, to build their own town. They had already been hit by several fierce attacks. And the survivors were left with very little food and water. When they were attacked by Cuchillo Oro and his renegade Indians it seemed to be the last straw. Amazingly the attack is a failure; his renegades killed and he is captured.Now in the hands of Robert Regan, the caravan’s security chief, Cuchillo bargains for his life. His knowledge of the land could save him and the Mormons. With no other help or hope of survival the leaders chose to accept his offer. But there is a new terror to strike at the hearts of the Mormons …Cannibalism!And if anyone was going to be eaten, it would be the hostage redskin first …Cuchillo Oro.
