The saga continues. This second historical novel in a
series about the Leroy Wiley family chronicles the
hardships of having fought on the losing side in the Civil
War. Leroy has come home to try to pull the pieces of his
extended family together while spending long periods of
time away from home riding with the Texas Rangers against
Comanche Indians and rustlers. All this must be done under
the watchful eye of a Northern occupying army filled with
old foes.
Based on a real-life ancestor of Mrs. Gilhuly, this series
smacks of realism. The interpersonal conflict between a
long-suffering and sacrificing wife and the
adrenalin-junkie husband who decides to go on a cattle
drive up the Chisholm Trail to the railhead in Abilene,
Kansas, becomes the emotional centerpiece of the story.
The reader is provided a clear window into the historical
issues of the time
