It is the time of America's great westward migration, when Manifest
Destiny beckons to the hopeful and the lure of gold beguiles the
foolish and the greedy. Countless numbers of willing men go in
search of land and fortune. Jacob Victor heeds the call and leaves
the family farm in Ohio to escape the growing tumult of the Civil
War and to join the many others who set out to follow the
California Trail. His adventure draws him into the ongoing conflict
between prideful people of two nations separated by vast
differences, and he learns that their ways of life and claims to
the land will be changed forever. In an alliance forged by chance
and necessity, Jake and a lone Shoshoni horseman find a common
purpose in their struggle for survival. Two ordinary men caught in
extraordinary times, they must use wit and will to protect what is
theirs. The men and women of this great historic era will shape the
Old West and preserve a proud tradition for the generations who
will follow. They are tamers of the mestengo-they are The Mustang
Riders. Richard Hooton weaves a tale of the western frontier that
is filled with adventure, suspense, heartache and triumph, as he
introduces bold characters who come to life and capture the hearts
and minds of his readers as they ride across the pages of history.
