MOUNTAIN BOUND, THE SECOND BOOK IN A WONDERFUL MOUNTAIN MAN SERIES ADVENTURE FROM D. M. HAGGARD! Wilder Hawk, half Apache, half Anglo, and all mountain man, can't wait to get back to his beloved Rocky Mountains. As part of his quest to connect with his long-dead father, whose first name he bears, he travels to "the land of the yellow stone," a place of wonder and mystery. The trek from Kansas to Wyoming brings him face to face with both friendly and hostile Indian tribes, bandits, and other challenges, including a confrontation at Fort Laramie, and restoring two lost children to their family's wagon train. When he finally reaches the yellow stone region, it's everything he imagined. At a crystal-blue lake not far from the geysers and hot springs, he gains an unusual companion, a hawk, his totem bird, injured in a fight with an eagle. A chance encounter with a fellow mountain man brings friendship and sorrow, but points Wilder toward his next adventure -- a journey all the way to the Great Water to the West, the Pacific Ocean.
