Copper Halo at Mustang Pass

Destined for Merger

Miner Argus Drury rescues a comely red-haired traveler when a laden cargo breaks loose at the steamboat wharf along the Missouri River at Fort Benton in spring of 1886. Claretta Lovell arrives in Montana Territory as escort to her betrothed cousin
Rebekah, but is burdened by her father’s dowry—a gristmill’s grinding stone. On the way to Mustang Pass, Claretta auditions in a talent show, which lures Argus back to Helena with a full entourage to watch her compete. A crisis arises before the final round, leaving Argus and his best friend Chance Mullan to take matters into their own hands—a risk that could sidetrack their noble attempt to land the county seat designation for Mustang Pass.

Working double-time to ready the silver mine for extracting twin ores, will Argus discover a copper halo to highlight a higher purpose?
