The year is 1837. The fur trade that bred a generation of daring mountain men is in decline. A trapper by the name of Hugh Falconer knows it's time to look for new horizons, and he looks westward.Organizing a brigade of fiercely independent mountain men is no easy task but Falconer pulls it off, and he keeps them together as he leads them on a trail of constant danger, across the worst desert in the West, over savage mountains, through hostile Indian territory, and into a California of wealth, women, and wine-and Mexicans who aren't fond of interlopers.The journey was an ordeal. Now Falconer and his brigade of hardcases have to survive in a hostile new land. Among them is the callow youth named Eben Nall, who was seeking adventure and found much more-a courage he didn't know he had, and a beautiful young Mexican woman he needed more than breath itself.THE FIRST NOVEL IN A NEW TRILOGY OF EPIC MOUNTAIN MAN TALES BY THE AUTHOR OF HIGH COUNTRY AND BATTLE OF THE TETON BASIN.

IT IS A SOLDIER'S DUTY TO FOLLOW ORDERS, EVEN IF HE QUESTIONS THEM...He had earned a hero's reputation in young America's early wars. Timothy Barlow fought with Andrew Jackson against the Creek and Seminole Indians and was instrumental in keeping the Cherokees allied with the American cause during the conflict. But now President Jackson needs to forge alliances with the leaders of the Southern states and agrees to sign a bill declaring that all Cherokee land in Georgia-land on which gold has been found-no longer belongs to the Indians. Morally opposed to this course of action, Barlow struggles with his honor and his conscience. He must obey his commander-in-chief and attempt to persuade his Cherokee friends to abandon their land peacefully-or face extinction. But violence is bound to break out, and Timothy Barlow will be forced to choose sides. THE SECOND IN THE POPULAR TIMOTHY BARLOW TRILOGY THAT INCLUDES THE LONG HUNTERS AND WAR LOVERS BY THE AUTHOR OF SUCH CLASSICS AS FALCONER'S LAW AND APACHE SHADOW.
