However, a group of friendly Indians had been watching and took Jacobs and Slade to their medicine man, Flaming Star. However, he was travelling in the wrong direction and after many long hours collapsed to the ground. Surmising what had happened, Jamie managed to get Carter onto a horse and set out to find help.
It was then that Jamie Jacobs, the teenage son of the settlers who had been murdered, emerged from his hiding place and found him. Though he fought bravely, Carter was eventually defeated, shot multiple times and slowly dying from his injuries. They were cattle herders upset at settlers coming in and taking what they regarded as their land, despite the government's role in placing settlers.
Riding into the fray he discovered the attackers were not Indians but rather white men dressed up to appear as Indians. Though he was untrained in using a gun, he had been a boxing champion in college and, at any rate, could not allow such an atrocity to go unchallenged. However, when he had nearly arrived he came upon a group of what appeared to be Indians slaughtering helpless homesteaders. Eventually Carter decided to move out west to the new territories, in order to become a schoolteacher at the new settlement of Bison Bend in Montana. Carter Slade was born and raised in Ohio in the mid-19th century, along with his brother Lincoln.
