Publisher Description

From seven-time Spur Award winner Elmer Kelton comes a riveting tale befitting the Western Writers of America's Greatest Western Writer of all time. When Comanches slaughter his parents in 1855 West Texas, eight-year-old Jeff buries their scalped bodies-and the charred remains of his younger brother. Taken in by a homesteading family, Jeff ekes out an existence. But as he dons Confederate gray, he never dreams his brother is alive-or that he's wearing Union blue.

"Excellent book about two brothers separated at an early by an Indian raid that killed their parents. Each thinks the other is dead. They live separate lives until the Civil War strangely brings them together. Kelton is a great author and this is highly recommended."

— Jeff (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Kelton provdies stirring action and gripping suspense. His portrayal of the chaotic and bloody and Battle of Glorieta Pass in 1862 is thrilling, especially his chilling depiction of the murderous Union Major Chivington. This is vintage Kelton, a solid western story well-told.”

    — Publishers Weekly

  • “Ed Sala delights listeners with his vocal prowess and engaging style. His conversational delivery pours emotion into the action, sympathizes with the many hard knocks taken by the characters, and adds believability and humor to the numerous hardships of the frontier.”

    — AudioFile

  • “As always, Kelton’s writing and grasp of the era are impeccable.”

    " The book club chose this for its tie-in to the Civil War & its 150th anniversary. This was an interesting story of two brothers and how they were separated at a young age and how their lives were very different. I am interested in reading more by this author. "
