In the Lair of Legends by David Buzan

Jolon Winterhawk, the most highly decorated Native American in the history of the United States Cavalry, is a combat veteran of countless bloody skirmishes during the American Civil War. A man of honor, he struggles with sworn allegiances to two different nations: the country he has sworn to protect, and the tribe he has promised to defend. During a top-secret mission to escort a military gold train through Oregon's rugged Cascade Mountains, Winterhawk emerges as the sole survivor of a large-scale ambush. Duty-bound to complete the assignment and honor the sacrifices of his fallen comrades, he makes the fateful decision to personally deliver the precious cargo of gold. As Winterhawk set out on a perilous wagon journey across miles of treacherous wilderness, an aerial unit from the Army Balloon Corps was dispatched to locate the missing train. The aeronauts soon seized upon a diabolical opportunity: stealing the gold for themselves. Outnumbered and outgunned, Winterhawk soon found himself in the fiercest battle of his life. But he quickly realized that man was not his greatest enemy. Something else lurked deep in those woods: a monster of myth, a horrifying creature of enormous size.
