Lawless mountain men traveled west into Montana Territory to escaped the law. With these men came their savage demeanor and knowledge of no law, the crimes flourished. Most victims being young Indian girls along with robbery ending in murders that covered the scene. With the death came scalps that sold to the Trading Post. The Hellgate treaty of 1851 forced the Indians tribes to move to their newly established reservations, creating uprising from young braves not wanting to leave their ancestral grounds. This problem solved with U.S. Calvary to keep peace with the Indians. Alexander Culbertson, Montana Territorial governor soon learned that Indian girls were missing, with no possible peace with the tribes until this problem solved. He questioned, "Who would track down and capture these elusive mountain men? The answer came from Fort Benton in a burly, young arm bending blacksmith named Caleb. Along with an a half breed French Canadian raised Blackfoot named Fitz and a giant befriended black wolf, Sage. As a team they would run these criminals to ground, Sage would lead the hunt, Caleb would pronounce the sentence and Fitz would dish out immediately punishment that be met their lawless ways.
