The wealthy Endicotts, led by the oldest brother, Edward, contract
a steamboat to take their large family, servants and horses, up the
Missouri river to establish their business in the new frontier. But
their dream ends after a vicious attack on the boat by the Nathan
Hawks gang, which includes the brutal brother and sister half
breeds, Stone Face and Dark Sky. All of the Endicotts and servants
are massacred, except for young, Glory Endicott and the beautiful
teacher, Janey Shire who are taken hostage. Soon after, a band of
horsemen led by the legendary Texas Ranger, Captain Tully Slay,
along with Tyke Flannery, an Irish freedom fighter, Big Robbie, a
former slave with a mysterious past, two riflemen, Benny Link and
Evan Mooney, and an old Comanche scout, Magpie, follow the gang
through Texas into Mexico. By the time they have reached the Rio
Grande they are joined by two more Texas Rangers, and a Mexican
hostage turned ally. As the Hawks gang waits for the arrival of the
horsemen their gang is reinforced with vaqueros from the bandit,
Emilio Rios. After the raid at Pueblo de Coyote, only fate, luck
and courage will decide who will ride away from the border town.
The Horsemen is the first novel in an epic western trilogy,
followed by In the Devil's Skin and Children of Thunder.
