This novel plunges the reader into the last agonizing years of the
Civil War. Cattle from the Florida plains are needed to save a
desperate South from starvation. But quicksand and snake-filled
swamps, Yankee raiders, and vicious outlaws block the trails
between Florida and the rest of the Confederacy. Men like Tree
Hooker, tough as alligator hide and quick with gun, knife, or whip,
reckon with Union forces and renegades when they take on the job of
driving the herds.
Jake Harn had served in the Civil War as an officer and upon being
discharged he came back to his home near Savannah, Georgia. What he
found was that his family, along with others, were living with
destruction and devastation caused by the war. On his family's
advice he decided to travel west. Early influences helped Jake
develop a strong sense of right and wrong. During his adult years
he became an individualist who not only took care of himself, but
tried to provide comfort to those less fortunate than himself. As
an army officer, Jake became an expert with a rifle and while
traveling west he began to hone his skills with a hand gun, not to
be used as a vocation but as a necessity against the lawless breed
that inhabited the Wild West. When he arrived in Burkeville he
found himself embroiled in a bloody range war. He became a
full-time cowboy by choice and a reluctant part-time lawman when
the local sheriff was ambushed by a gang of outlaws.

It is the early 1860s and twelve-year-old Erik Larson and his
Swedish family are headed west in a wagon train from Minnesota to
find a valley in pre-Idaho Territory. The family holds high hopes
that their new home will provide the happiness they seek-that is,
until a deadly illness strikes.
When Erik's own mother becomes ill, the wagon master decides to
push ahead, intent on outracing a blizzard. Unfortunately, winter
arrives with a vengeance, and with his sister far ahead in another
wagon, Erik is stranded with his parents. After his father
experiences a fatal fall, Erik and his mother face a brutal
winter-alone on the windswept prairie. Erik is convinced that to
survive he must seek help from the Sheepeater Indians. After he
meets the Sheepeaters, he deals with prejudice and life-threatening
danger and begins to question everything he's ever believed.
Without the skills to hunt or fish, Erik must confront an
agonizing choice-either perish or abandon everything and become a
member of the Sheepeaters. A poignant partnership soon unfolds
between the Native Americans and a white man who has just one
dream-to reunite with his sister.
Set in early Texas between the end of the Mexican War and the dawn
of the American Civil War, The Bloody Frontier is the third in a
series of four historic westerns written by Jeffery Robenalt. Saga
of a Texas Ranger continues as Caleb McAdams recruits his own
company of Rangers to deal with Comanche depredations on the
Western frontier and the ravages of Mexican bandits along the Rio
Grande. In the midst of this deadly struggle, Caleb must deal with
an unknown assassin in his own ranks who has been sent to Texas by
the Pate brothers, while his love for two women builds to a
gut-wrenching climax. "In keeping with the traditions of Western
greats Louis L'Amour and Elmer Kelton, Jeff Robenalt once again
weaves the history of old Texas into a magical tapestry of
adventure and romance in The Bloody Frontier, Volume 3 of his epic
Saga of a Texas Ranger series. From cover to cover, The Bloody
Frontier is an exciting, breathtaking read that any lover of
historical western fiction will find irresistible!" - Flip Flippen,
