The Border Riflemen by Albert W. Aiken audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Set on the raw edge of the American frontier during the Black Hawk War, The Border Riflemen follows Sadie Wescott, a spirited young settler trying to keep her family's riverside cabin safe as rumor and violence spread through the timber. When the dangerous woodsman William 'Black Will' Jackwood corners her with threats he intends to make good on, Sadie's unlikely champion appears in the form of Cooney Joe Bent, a brawling scout with a fierce sense of justice. Soon Captain Charley Melton and his mounted riflemen are riding the border country, trying to prevent open war even as hotheaded settlers and hard-bitten renegades fan the flames. Into this volatile mix steps Minneoba, the daughter of Black Hawk, whose warnings and divided loyalties reveal how close the region is to catastrophe. Betrayals for whiskey, secret messages, river chases, and bush fights pull Sadie and her friends into a widening struggle where every ally is precious and every shadowed grove may hide an enemy. And haunting the conflict is a mysterious figure whispered about as the Forest Fiend, striking from the darkness with motives no one can quite trust.
