Lieutenant Gavin Ross and his US Dragoons were ordered to escort a wagon train of Russian settlers from Fort Leavenworth to their new spreads deep in the Kansas Territory. Expecting trouble from renegade Kiowa and Comanche war parties, Gavin had to move fast when ruthless Comanchero leader Guido Lazaro and his gang of killers attacked by surprise. Outnumbered and surrounded, the US Dragoons had to beat back the half-breed desperadoes before the territory was soaked in Comanchero blood!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
"My mother's family the Terrals and Kennedys (Scot Presbyterians) fought for the south in the Civil War and went to the Indian and Oklahoma Territories to escape the oppression of Northern "reconstruction" of the southern states. They became cattle ranchers. The town of Terral, Oklahoma is named after my great-grandfather. My father's family were farmers who served in the Union Army in a Pennsylvania regiment. They moved into the area to get free land as per the homestead act."
Patrick E. Andrews was born in Oklahoma in 1936 into a family of pioneers who participated in its growth from the Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory to statehood. His father's family were homesteaders and his mother's cattle ranchers. Consequently, he is among the last generation of American writers who had contacts with those people from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Patrick's wife Julie says he both speaks and writes with an Oklahoma accent. He is an ex-paratrooper, having served in the 82nd Airborne Division in the active army and the 12th Special Forces Group in the army reserves. Patrick began his writing career after leaving the army. He and his better half presently reside in southern California. He has a son Bill, who is an ex-paratrooper and a probation officer, and two grandchildren.
Genre: Western
