RANDY AND ROUGH, HE'S A MEAN MOUNTAIN MAN WITH A NOSE FOR TROUBLE AND HANKERIN’ FOR HOT BEAVER! After a spell of setting traps and livin' off the rough mountain country, Jack Pike got hungry for the fleshpots most men call home. Meetin' up with his trail pard Skins McConnell, Pike aimed to sample himself something warm and willin' at the local post when he ran into trouble. Father Smets and his missionaries were on the trail of a lost band of their compadres when their guides robbed them, leaving them stranded in hostile Indian territory. With the Blackfeet and Flathead tribes fixin' to go to war, Pike and McConnell signed on to lead the padre to safe ground. And, when a saucy camp girl named Sally offered to keep his bedroll warm, the big mountain man knew he'd be sitting pretty. But as soon as the fighting started, he had his long gun out, primed and ready to bring the scalp-happy savages to their knees in a bloody desert climax!

Gathering No Moss is the autobiography of a possibly autistic child, born in 1925, who, idiosyncratically educated, grew up to see out, as a member of the Colonial Service, the end of the British Empire in East Africa. In later service with the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation, he witnessed novice states exulting in new-found independence. His last appointment, as deputy director of the Centre for International Briefing, at Farnham Castle in Surrey, was in an organisation devoted to inculcating, in those going ‘abroad', better understanding of cross-cultural relations. Post-retirement, he keeps an eye, Pooter-like, on our changing world.
When a group of missionaries is stranded in hostile Indian territory, Pike agrees to lead them onward to search for some of their lost brethren, fighting the tribes and falling for a camp girl on his journey.
