Under the Sweetwater Rim

Under the Sweetwater Rim by Louis L'Amour

Adventure, danger, action in the Wild West.

A major leading a patrol finds a wagon train where fifteen wagons were attacked, and everyone with them massacred. One wagon is missing -- the Army ambulance.

His daughter was with it. Also there is a lieutenant, overstaying his leave, who did not go where he said he would. And they find he was with the diverted wagon, and he was sweet on the daughter.

The major does concede his judgment was affected: the man might be heading for a different fort because it's closer.

Warbands, horses, a band of renegades, how the lieutenant had traveled to many countries, payroll gold, mountain passes, and much more.
