Sent to Nevada to investigate reports of Rebel activities, Ken English was thrust into a region full of miners and gamblers, heroes and killers, Union supporters and Southern sympathizers. As the threat of bloody conflict loomed over the country, English and scores of brave men and women would risk their fortunes, their loves, and their very lives to quell the revolt--and save the land they had helped to build.
