A BITTER HOMECOMING
Scott Walker returned home to Missouri from his stay in a Confederate hospital only to find his home burned by Quantrill's raiders, and his family relocated to Wyoming. But his long trek to be reunited with his kin was only the beginning of his troubles. When he reached Laramie he found his sweetheart married to his older brother, and his father embroiled in a bloody battle with a deputy surveyor for the railroad. Has Scott survived the war only to be killed in a struggle for land? With the railroads on one side, landowners on another, and fierce Indians against them all, Scott is caught in a whirlwind of progress, greed, and the efforts to bind a continent with iron rails.
