Two confederates meet on the battlefield and become friends during the Civil War. After the conflict is over, the men go west to make a new start. War-weary and restless, they find it hard to settle down. Their journey takes them to Texas where they find work as rangers, then to Kansas, hunting buffalo, and finally to Montana, to see and experience the gold camps there. Gun and shooting enthusiasts will enjoy the characters and the gunfights using the fine rifles and pistols of the day - the Sharps, Winchesters, Henrys and more. History buffs will appreciate the accuracy of historical facts throughout Lloyd's Montana saga. This novel contains black and white photos from the Library of Congress and other sources.
