Bryan of Carrizo Creek

When his father was killed and his mother passed away two years later, Bryan and his brother sold their farm in Tennessee. All was well until the brother ran off with Bryan's girl. Almost distraught, Bryan left Tennessee to homestead a spot in wild, harsh, unsettled Southeastern Colorado Territory. His dream was to settle down, forget the past and live a quiet productive life. It didn't happen quite that way. Bryan befriended a rancher named Clyde Everly and Clyde had a beautiful, spunky, young daughter. There was also an old, mysterious Indian Medicine Man that proved to be a valuable friend. Bryan's uncle Jim joined him in the adventure. Jim was somewhat of a wonderer, gambler and his speed with twin six guns was un-matched. The constant threat from Indians, Mexican Banditos, other questionable characters, the elements, as well as wild creatures, made it necessary for folks to maintain a high level of vigilance. Then, there was "Wil", the runaway slave who was being pursued by bounty hunters that didn't care much about anybody. Emotional and surprise events are presented throughout, with a little humor and an unusual, eerie ending.
