After the surrender of the Confederacy two former soldiers have decided to call the fertile valley of the Guadalupe Mountains their home, but their future is threatened by Indians and outlaws . . .
I felt compelled to read this book since it was recommended by a friend. Its the story of two families on their journey West. One of the families a Confederate with two sons and the other a Yankee with two daughters. The characters are well defined and the plot has a good run. I found the book entertaining. I needed a good Western.
