Have not read a western for quite a while and enjoyed this one, and brought back memories of borrowing books from my dad when I was a teen because I ran out of books on my shelf.
15 yr. old Hank and his grandpa, the Sherri in town ride out to deliver a coffin with a false bottom to 3 men and 2 women, Hank little knew his life would change would forever.
The coffin was to be used to hide stolen confederate gold. After delivered the men could not let Hank and grandpa stay alive so they killed them But Hank was just badly shot in the head and side. He managed to crawl back to town and after several days he felt the doc had patched him up enough so he go take of to go and catch the ones who killed grandpa. It was not easy but he did manage eventually to find them.
In the mean time his father is a Texas ranger looking for these same men for stealing the confederate gold
They find the men at about the same time and justice is served

I grew up reading Zane Grey and that is why I sometimes have to take a break and read a good Western. This is a good western with a good story
