Tree "Bigfoot" Smith and Cedar Jones first meet on the day they
join the US Cavalry's Fourth Cavalry Regiment based out of the
Historic Fort Concho in what is now San Angelo, Texas, in 1870.
Their journey takes them into the heart of the dangerous Llano
Estacado region known as the Comancheria. The area is ruthlessly
defended by a band of Quahadi Comanche and their stoic leader,
Lonely Horse. The Troop encounters a large group of Comanches and
the gun-running Comancheros at Mushaway Mountain, close to Gail,
Texas. A quick battle ensues that leaves eight men dead. Post
Cavalry life finds Tree Smith and Cedar Jones as cowhand and cook
on the large Rolling J cattle ranch in South Texas bordering the
Rio Grande River. The ranch employs two Vaqueros from the village
of Montenegro in Mexico, just across the river, whom Tree
befriends. The quiet life on the Rolling J ranch is brought to an
abrupt halt when a local sheriff warns that a band led by the
cold-blooded, sadistic killer known as Gato Montes has been preying
on the ranches along the Rio Grande. After the sheriff is nearly
killed by these men, Tree is tasked with tracking them down, only
this time, he is traveling alone and the dangers are greatly
multiplied. His epic journey takes him back into the Llano Estacado
where he is captured by Lonely Horse and taken to Mushaway Mountain
where the Comanche carry out their own form of frontier justice.
Tree's return journey puts him on the same path as Marco, a Mexican
goat herder, who rides with him to the Mexican Village of
Montenegro, where Tree meets Julia, who changes his life forever
after he becomes involved in and bears witness to the wonderful
celebration of Dia de los Muertos.
