- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This novel is the winner of Boggs' third Spur Award from the Western Writers of America. This book follows the adventure of two 12 year old boys and a 12 year old girl in 1880's New Mexico Apache country in company with a crazy albino wild man looking for gold coins abandon in a stage coach chased by Apaches. Whitey Grey is the albino who quickly turns from crazy wild man who threatens the children with death if they do not obey him to a man who treats then tenderly.When they get close to the site of the stage accident, they are attacked by young Apache warriors who have just escaped the San Carlos Reservation. Narrowly escaping the Apaches, they in turn become captives of two outlaws who are also searching for the treasure.Based on an actual attack and destruction of an Overland stage by Apaches in Doubtful Canon, the remainder of the narrative is speculation by the author. Some believe the gold is still buried somewhere in Doubtful Canon. Good fast paced story that never really stops to give you a breath.
