When Longarm goes for the gold, murder is all in the family! Just when Deputy Marshal Custis Long thought he’d finally be free to rustle up a few new conquests of the feminine persuasion, two distant cousins show up toting a far-fetched tale of treasure and murder. Longarm would like nothing better than to send these sisters packing back to the backwoods of West Virginia, but they won’t be deterred—even though there are a coupla cutthroats on their trail… Escorting the ladies on their hunt for the Picacho Peak gold turns out to be trickier than he thought—especially when they come across the body of Longarm’s mule-riding cousin Boris, who’d gone ahead of the girls to get the treasure. Now, Longarm must stop a gang of cold-blooded brothers before they take it upon themselves to murder more of his kin…

Two distant cousins from West Virginia show up with a tale of treasure and murder. Longarm escorts them on their hunt, but with a gang of cold-blooded brothers hot on their heels, Longarm must stop them from killing any more of his kin. Original.

Hidatsa Social and Ceremonial Organization, a study of an important horticultural Plains Indian tribe, synthesizes the rich material Alfred W. Bowers recorded in the early 1930s from the last generation of Hidatsas who lived in the historic village of Like-a-Fishhook. This documentary record of their nineteenth-century lifeways is now a classic in American ethnography. The book is distinguished for its presentation of extensive personal and ritual narratives that allow Hidatsa elders to articulate directly their conceptions of traditional culture. It combines archeological and ethnographic approaches to reconstruct a Hidatsa culture history that is shaped by a concern for cultural detail stemming from the American ethnographic tradition of Franz Boas. At the same time, its concern for the understanding of social structure reflects the influence of the British structural-functional approach of A. R. Radcliffe-Brown. The most comprehensive account ever published on the Hidatsas, it is of enduring value and interest.
