"THE ULTIMATE HUNT"
First off the title of this western novel is CAPTIVE'S TRAIL, not 'Captive" as shown by Amazon.  The book was released in June, 1988, in a series of 9 books all written by Will C. Knott.  The series concerns the mountain man era in the west from the 1830s and 1840s and the Rocky Mountain fur trade.  The 9 novels fictionally capture well the forts, mountain men, Indians, and situations in general as it pertained to that era.  The books came into existence long before the Wilderness series from David Thompson (David Robbins) but each series does very well in offering interesting stories of that mountain man era.  Readers of the Wilderness series, much larger series, may enjoy this small series of 9 books as well, I have both series of books and enjoy them equally.
The main character in each book is Jed Thompson otherwise known as Golden Hawk.  Hawk and his sister, Annabelle, were captured by the Comanche early on with Hawk escaping while his sister was traded to a couple different tribes before he could rescue her.  In this eighth book she is again taken by the Comanche, and then stolen by the Blackfoot with Golden Hawk again forced to try and rescue his golden haired sister from Indians meaning both of them harm.
Along the way this book is people with fictional people but also by people of history from the time of the mountain man:  Joe Meek, Kenneth Mackenzie, and Old Bill Williams, among others, along with Fort Union-an American Fur Company site, and Fort Hall-a Hudson's Bay site.  Golden Hawk along with his trail partner, Tames Horses, an aged Nez Perce Indian chief, will all play their part in trying to rescue Annabelle from harm's way.
The story is set back in the era of the mountain man just as the beaver trade is dying out and the bison (buffalo) are becoming valuable as lap throws back in the east.  If you are interested in this era, say 1840 onward, then this series of books may be of some interest to you.  The books are all well written with plenty of action.
