Where to get it
They drove cattle west and north. They hunted family, love, and a fortune in the high country. They fed miners and helped men like Charles Goodnight push ranching into new grass.
This is the third book in the McBride and LaPoint saga. Scouts and fighters in the Texas Indian wars become railroad builders and family men in the mountains of southern Colorado.
The Comanche war is told straight: both sides, Polonio Ortiz, Moway Village, Palo Duro, and the killing of the horse herds that ended a plains way of life. After the tribes came rustlers in eastern New Mexico, then lawyers and thieves in nicer clothes. Courage still had to open the trail.
Well researched. Real people in their real hours. The talk around the fire is where the age argues with itself.
They opened the land. Then they tried to live on it.
