Seventeen years in the high country have made Lazarus Buchanan a legend—but legends still bleed.
Known to trappers and tribes alike as White Bear, Lazarus Buchanan has built a life deep in the Northern Rockies—one forged by respect, hard choices, and the fragile balance between frontier survival and tribal honor. With his wives, children, and extended family at his side, Lazarus has beaten the odds in a land that kills careless men quickly.
But the frontier never stays still.
When a man-eating grizzly terrorizes allied villages, Lazarus and his family are drawn into a brutal test of courage that demands sacrifice from everyone they love. And even as that threat is beaten back, darker drums begin to sound—visions among the Blackfeet, a hot-blooded warrior seeking glory, and the rising certainty that the old ways of the mountains are being crowded out by forces no rifle can stop.
As alliances are tested and enemies are forced to question their own traditions, Lazarus faces a reckoning far greater than any single battle. Protecting his family may mean walking willingly into the heart of enemy territory—and challenging a future that seems determined to erase everything he has fought to preserve.
Bang a Drum is a powerful Mountain Man adventure filled with frontier realism, deep cultural respect, and the relentless tension of a world on the brink of change. It is a story of family, honor, and the cost of doing what is right when the frontier offers no safe choices.
Return to the high country—and hear the drumbeats of a fading era grow louder.
Genre: Western
