Based on actual events, this is the epic story of Abilene, Kansas,
at a time when the cowboy was king, might made right, and the
future seemed as unsettled as the endless prairie.
Abilene, 1871. Will Merritt is fiercely protective of the cattle
trade that made his father's fortune. Idolizing the cowboys who
flood the streets each summer, Will and his friends are drawn to
Abilene's exotic Texastown district--a powderkeg of saloons and
brothels so notorious that the mayor has hired the West's most
famous gunman, Wild Bill Hickok, to police its streets. Yet even
with Hickok as marshal, Abilene boils with deep divisions.
The townsfolk resent the migrant settlers whose new farms are
slicing up the rangeland. And no one is more intolerant than Will's
best friend, Jasper, who delights in tormenting any farmer he
encounters. But Will finds himself torn when he meets the beautiful
and beguiling Anna, whose dignity and determination test his
deepest beliefs.
Then Will's father reveals a stunning secret that challenges
Abilene's future, one that makes the Merritts outcasts. And when
Wild Bill's tenure as marshal comes to a violent head, Will
realizes that everything--his family, his friends, and the only
home he's ever known--could be gone in an instant, leaving only an
empty wilderness once again.
