In 1816, Mordecai Lewis, a veteran of Andrew Jackson's Indian campaigns and battles against the British, moves his family into the western Tennessee canebrakes. But Mordecai is not satisfied with farming, and with his sons Michael and Andrew, he leads a foray into Spanish-held Texas to hunt wild horses and return the mustang herd to sell in Tennessee. Unfortunately, a bloody skirmish along the way leaves Mordecai dead, and his sons find their way back to their Tennessee farm. Five years later, after the Spanish government in Mexico City has agreed to permit three hundred American families to settle in Texas, the Lewis brothers ride to the frontier town of Natchitoches, Louisiana, intending to be part of the new American colony. But they are considered interlopers and horse thieves, and are dogged by a patrolled by the same ruthless Spanish officer who killed their father.

The state of Texas owes Elmer Kelton a big debt of thanks for all of the novels, stories, and tales he set in that geographic location. With this book, Kelton again demonstrates himself to be the chroniclier of western history. No one does it better, sticking to the facts and removing the "myth" that is the west. This book is the 1st of a 3 book set he wrote, Sons of Texas; The Raiders; and The Rebels. Get all three and enjoy a family history lesson in what it was like to uproot your family and move to a "new" and "foreign" country, and the struggles to survive that transition and make a home. Buy this book. Personal note: Elmer Kelton was the only living western author I was buying when this book was published, and was until his death. I know of no one to take his place.
