About this eBook

Peyton Lewis and Fletcher Rucker are two humble Rebel boys whose innocence was destroyed in the bloody wreckage of the Civil War. Young and desperate, they fall in with a scheme to rob a bank but are totally unprepared for the violence that ensues. Sickened by the carnage and wanton cruelty that they have witnessed, Lewis and Rucker take their cut and join the migration of those who see the possibility of a new beginning in the wilderness of the Texas frontier.

Along the way they meet rogues, killers...and two exceptional women: the tortured Molly Klinner, a woman who has also suffered dearly by the ravages of the war, and Gabriel Johnson, an Eastern beauty who decided to join the Texas migration on a lark--but will soon learn the true meaning of humanity. Together, the four travelers will weather the travails that the new frontier offers them--but will they manage to carve out a new life?

Ratings and reviews

to be honest I only read a few pages of the sample but it did not hold my attention. but also to respond to the earlier comment from 2015 by Ty Herron... Sir I'm sorry to point out that you are in error. The Outlaw Josey Wales was based on a book called Gone to Texas, that is true, but the author of that book is Forrest Carter, who also went by the name of Asa Carter. Gone to Texas is often sold with its sequel, the Vengeance trail of Josey Wales.

"The Outlaw Josie Wales" is based on this book, and I saw many similarities. Great story, well told.
