Their History Was Written in Blood.
It’s 1869. A wagon train of restless, rootless men and women moves through a death-infested wasteland to a life in Oregon the settlers hope might be a little better than the one they’ve left behind. The nearest settlement is 300 miles to the east…and waiting for them to the west are a thousand Apaches and Pawness who’ve bled for their land…and will again. The wagon train’s only escort are seventy raw recruits, led by a deserter with a price on his head who is masquerading as a general. They may be doomed… but hope, fortitude, and pure grit might just get them to the promised land.
