Description

In this western in Ralph Compton's USA Today bestselling series, a Civil War veteran learns the fight isn't over... Captain Jack Starr served the Confederate cause with honor for four years. The Texas town of Lost Dog Creek promised an opportunity for the war veteran to rebuild his life-and a woman to share it with. But not everyone is willing to roll out the welcome wagon for Jack. Hiram Sawyer has designs on every inch of cattle range in the surrounding territory and he isn't about to let some ex-reb steal the heart of the widow whose ranch he covets. With men on both sides of the law willing to do his bidding, Sawyer begins a campaign to destroy Jack. But he's just declared war on the wrong man...
