Making whiskey was not illegal, selling it to the Indians was. Crossing the border into Canada was not illegal, but crossing with whiskey was. And if you made into Canada the Federal Marshals couldn't arrest you. But Marshal Moore had a plan, a plan that involved a half-breed named Brent--who spent as much time in jail as he did out of it, because he had a "mad" at the world, a chip on his shoulder--very low self-esteem we'd call it today. And Marshal Moore pinned a badge on him to try and put some pride back in the young man. There is a lot going on in this novel and that makes it a great novel to read. Who wrote this particular Wade Everett book? I can't answer that for sure; it could have been Will Cook or Giles Lutz; my best guess is the latter, but I keep all of my Wade Everett books on the shelf next to the Will Cook ones.
