( ) A good post-Civil War "Louie." A TV movie has been made from this one, which wasn't bad, although, as usual I like the book better. Some people don't want to admit the Civil War is over. Del and Mac Traven come home from the war to find that all the stock for miles around has been stolen, along with a great many women including their sisters and Del's sweetheart. Colonel Ashford plans to sell the stock and the women to finance a Confederate attack out of Mexico. The Traven brothers and their crazy Uncle Jack set out to get them back, helped in no small measure by the brains and inventiveness of the women themselves. Product Description
Dal and Mac Traven left Texas young and idealistic. They came back from opposite sides of a living hell, a war that had torn the nation in two. They wanted only to reclaim their old lives…but one man held their future hostage.
Colonel Henry T. Ashford had gathered an army of criminals and renegade soldiers, leading them on a path of destruction and kidnapping through Texas to the Gulf. Among Ashford’s captives were the Travens’ sister and Dal’s tough-minded fiancée, Kate.
Now Mac and Dal must take up arms once again and ride together against Ashford’s army—ready to fight another war, if that’s what it takes to win the freedom of the women they love.
