Across the Rio Colorado

A man protects settlers from frontier dangers in an adventure by "a storyteller who may very well turn out to be the greatest western writer of them all." —Tombstone Epitaph Across rivers of blood and plains of tears, he led a wagon train toward a country fighting to be born. . . Texas! For the pioneers who streamed out of Missouri it was a land of dreams and freedom. Miners dug for fortunes. Soldiers died on open plains. And a few brave men drove the wooden freight wagons into the wild land. Veteran wagon boss Chance McQuade, a man deadly with a pistol and Sharps, had signed on to take a hundred families there. But the man who hired McQuade was joining the wagon train, and turning it into a brawling, rolling city of sin and violence. Now, on the hard drive West, McQuade faces Kiowa, lightning storms, and killers behind his back-all to reach a promised land that's erupting into war. "Very seldom in literature have the legends of the old West been so vividly painted." —Tombstone Epitaph
