Beyond the Goodnight Trail

PEACEMAKER AWARD WINNER



When former Texas Ranger scout Pete Horse agrees to join his old friend Charlie Goodnight's first trail drive across Texas to the New Mexico Bosque Redondo Navajo reservation, he knows the way will be fraught with danger.

He expects to encounter bandits, hostile Comanche, bad weather and stampedes, and he's not disappointed. He hadn't been expecting the treacherous Comancheros, renegade Apache, and night riding gangs of unreconstructed Rebels seething with resentment, and all of them fighting over a thousand stolen Army rifles.



When he's forced to kill two men who are stealing his prized horse, Pete incurs the wrath of an ex-communicated religious zealot and his sect of trigger-happy disciples. The entire Texas Panhandle is about to erupt in a shooting war that could spread across the West.

Riding up with old friends Bigfoot Wallace, Bass Reeves, Britt Johnson and more legendary men of the west, Pete still faces the longest odds of a long, turbulent life on the violent frontier.
