Cartwright and the Deadwood Bank Robber (Book 7)

Jed Cartwright and his adopted brother Nathan join Pa Cartwright to help the Diamondback Ranch cowboys in a grueling trail drive from Lariat, South Dakota, to Abilene, Kansas. As the Diamondback hands pass through the town of Deadwood, South Dakota, Pa stands up to the town banker, who is trying to force another man to take a drink of liquor. Pa finds that he has made a deadly enemy in the process.

When the Deadwood Bank vault is forced open, and a shipment of gold is stolen, the evidence seems to point to Pa. To Jed’s dismay, Pa is found guilty and sentenced to ten years in the Kansas State Prison. The question remains: who really stole the gold? When Jed and Nathan set out to try to prove Pa’s innocence, help comes from an unexpected source.
