Ambush in the Foothills

by Bill Freeman

The year is 1877. Jamie and Kate Bains are ready to help their friend, North West Mounted Police constable Patrick McNeil, drive a herd of cattle north to the foothills country of Canada.
As Ambush in the Foothills opens, the year is 1877. Jamie and Kate Bains are ready to help their friend, North West Mounted Police constable Patrick McNeil, drive a herd of cattle north to the foothills country of Canada.
It is a wild and dangerous frontier. The cowboys who ride with them are rough and independent men. The restless Blackfoot Nation controls the territory they must cross, and outlaws lurk in the foothills waiting for their opportunity to strike. Only skill, determination, and raw courage will save Kate and Jamie if they hope to make it back to the foothills alive.
Ambush in the Foothills is the ninth book in Bill Freeman's best-selling series of historical novels featuring the Bains family. It is illustrated with photographs of the period showing the people who lived in the West and describing their work and their way of life.
