Spirit Rider

Now a successful Denver businessman, Vin Lockhart was raised by the Oglala Sioux and revered as one protected by their ancestors. Suddenly, they want him to return and save an old friend captured by a gang of outlaws. To rescue him, Lockhart must hear the stones sing or die. Only the chosen can hear the stones sing their wisdom, the most ancient of beings and the wisest. So believe the Oglala Sioux. Now a successful Denver City businessman, Vin Lockhart was raised by the Oglalas and honored as a warrior of great medicine. But he never heard the stones sing, not even when his young bride was murdered by a vicious Crow war party -- or when he goes after them alone and kills them. His fellow tribesmen believe their ancestors rode beside him in the battle. As he recovers from his near-death wounds, they come to believe he is a spirit himself.  It is too much to bear with his grief and he leaves the village forever. On his travels, he meets an eccentric miner who talks with an imaginary friend and who teaches Lockhart the white man’s ways. Together they find gold and become rich businessmen. But his new happy life is interrupted by Oglala messengers sent by his adopted father, Stone-Healer, a shaman of prominence. They come to ask him to return and find his former brother-in-law who has been captured by an outlaw gang. Lockhart greatly resents the presence of the Oglala warriors, reminding him of a life he has long ago left. If he returns, he must deal once again with their belief that he is a spirit. He must hear the stones sing and face the likelihood of death . . . again.
