Craig Johnson, author of The Cold Dish and Junkyard Dogs, says:
“It’s rare that you get a writer like Carol Buchanan; an historian with a novelist’s ear capable of rending the individual voices of character into the orchestral narrative of a sweeping story. Gold Under Ice is an epic journey into Montana’s past with a steady hand at the reins.”
The story of Gold Under Ice:
Money. Greenbacks vs. gold. The Lincoln administration prints greenbacks to pay the Union armies, and in the Gold Room off Wall Street traders pit the greenback against the gold Double Eagle. By January 1864, the greenback loses nearly half its value. An angry President Lincoln wishes gold traders – traitors all – were “shot in the head.”
While far to the west, in Alder Gulch, Montana Territory, millions in gold lie under the ice of Alder Creek. Gold-seekers pray for spring.
When the ice breaks, Daniel Stark rescues a man hurled into the frigid water, only to learn that his autocratic grandfather sent the man to bring him back with gold to pay his family’s debt.
But Dan does not have enough gold to rescue the family from their financial burden. If he joins the gold traders, he could make enough to pay the debt and secure his family’s future. Or lose everything and be branded a traitor to the Union.
 Gold Under Ice publisher, Craig Lancaster, has founded a small independent press, Missouri Breaks Press, in Billings, MT, to publish literary Western fiction, historical and modern. I was honored and pleased when he asked me if he could bring out Gold Under Ice as the inaugural book. (Craig, by the way, is the author of 600 Hours of Edward, a Montana Honor Book and finalist in the High Plains Book Awards, and one of my favorite novels.)-Carol Buchanan, Author Gold Under Ice & God's Thunderbolt
