Brack
Brack Haynes wants a homestead of his own a wife, family, and peace from the memories of war and bounty hunting that haunted his soul. So he hires a half-breed rancher and leads his cattle to the edge of Indian territory--a hostile stretch of wilderness that no white man has ever dared to claim. June publications date.
