Samuel Harold’s life has been a mixed bag. As a young Mormon boy in Missouri, he sees his parents murdered by vicious mobsters, then he escapes and is taken in by a tribe of Pawnee Indians, where he is given the name “Knife Thrower” because of his skill at throwing knives. After six years with the Pawnee, he returns to the white culture and joins a group of mountain men, becoming known as “Brigham” because he follows the teachings of Brigham Young.

As Danger Trail opens, Brigham takes Erma Lloyd as his wife, and they begin their journey to join the Mormons in Utah Territory. But their trail is far from smooth, as they are pursued relentlessly by two men who believe Brigham robbed and murdered their brother. Using cunning Indian tactics and wily mountain man skill, Brigham and Erma manage to stay alive and one step ahead of them. Until . . .
