The Tall Stranger
Savagely written by the author of "Hondo"!
A post-Civil War western centered on a returning soldier caught between family betrayal and territorial conflict, balancing action with moral complexity.
A Union soldier returns to his western home at the end of the Civil War and finds himself caught in the middle of a land war between his greedy half-brother and a wagon train of Confederate homesteaders.
