Lassiter becomes embroiled in the conflict, taking up the cause of the settlers and fighting against Tull and his followers. As the story unfolds, Lassiter must navigate the complex web of relationships and alliances among the settlers, including a young woman named Fay Larkin who is caught between loyalty to her people and her love for a non-Mormon outsider. Meanwhile, Lassiter's search for Jane Withersteen takes him deeper into the wilderness, where he faces new dangers and challenges. The Rainbow Trail is a classic Western adventure, full of action, romance, and vivid descriptions of the rugged landscape of the American West.
