Canyon by Michael P Ghiglieri
Accompanied by his faithful Morgan, Reuben Lee finds the hidden village of the Havasupai where two white women are held captive. Reuben instantly falls in love with Helen, the golden-haired teen-age daughter. Reuben persuades Helen to escape accompanied by her friend Spring Morning. The Havasupai chase the trio up to the canyon's rim and through the forest. Helen's childishness brings the threesome close to calamity time after time, but is offset by Spring Morning's courage and maturity. They reach the town of Sojourn where Reuben must compete for Helen's attention with a horde of single men. But the Havasupai attack and destroy the town. Reuben and the girls live off the land avoiding the Apache. Approaching a burnt-out wagon train to see if they can aid the survivors, they narrowly avoid a group of bandits robbing the corpses. Soon Reuben discovers that the town of Hostler's Rest is not what it seems and that Spring Morning is the woman he has loved all along.
