Blood Silver: The Yocum Dollar

At long last, a comprehensive story of the famed "Yocum" silver dollars.

Snow has managed to make each chapter ring true to both history and humanity. Gripping from start to finish, Blood Silver relates the life of James Yoachum with simple truths and sobering questions about the first white settlers on Indian land in the Missouri Ozarks. With elements of Love, Fear, Treachery and Family, the suspense grows in a way that should be enjoyable for anyone interested in the 19th century frontier.
