Ride the Trail of Death is a novel about a family torn apart by the brutality of the Old West. Set in Deadwood during the Black Hills Gold Rush period of the late 1870s, the main character is Birch Rose, an eighteen-year-old boy who seeks revenge for his murdered parents and two younger brothers lost in the woods, presumably killed.Faced with being alone, Birch deals with sorrow, despair, anger, and a consuming desire for retaliation. He becomes a Deadwood deputy sheriff and one of the fastest gunmen in the Dakota Territory. In the end, Birch confronts his family's killers, but finds his lust for retribution is hollow. Reunited with his younger brothers, Birch comes to terms with life and reaches his own personal redemption."An historically accurate tale rich in character development, action, and perhaps, most importantly, the power of redemption. Kenneth Kieser knows Deadwood and the Dakotas and Ride the Trail of Death glows with realistic energy."--Cotton Smith, President, Western Writers of America

Black Moon rages against the white invaders of his Black Hills homeland, but it's a losing effort. Only one thing now keeps him going--?his need to kill Birch Rose, the Lakota warrior's elusive enemy. The hatred is mutual, because Black Moon killed Rose's father. But Rose faces his own struggle against Dakota Territory land-grabbers, and he must trust his friends and Deadwood's legendary sheriff Seth Bullock to help him save his family and bring hired killers to justice. Fate, however, has one more challenge for Rose--a final showdown with Black Moon, a face-off only one man will win.
 "Following his success with Ride the Trail of Death, Kenneth L. Kieser's new novel, Black Moon's Revenge, continues giving his readers compelling characters struggling for survival in an historically accurate Old West. Kieser is on the verge of creating a new American mythology."--Andrew R. Cline, associate professor of journalism, Missouri State University
