Slow Dying — William M. James

Cuchillo Oro, the grandson of the great Indian chief Mangas Coloradas is slow to judge but quick to act when he witnesses the cruel rape and murder of a Ute Indian woman and two small children. Where the man with the golden knife feet land, men die. And when Sheriff Thaddeus Mann and his gang of deputies taunt him into violence, the Apache warrior jumps at his chance for revenge.
