Blood Trail: Fannin County, Texas

By G.H. Lambert

Dylan Ryan arrives in Mexican Texas with his uncle Mort Lems in early 1836, just as settlers begin to flee before the approaching army of General Santa Anna in what would later be known as, The Runaway Scrape. Already Sam Houston's army of regulars and militia are rallying for the final battle, one that will decide the outcome of the war. As the two men ride to join the forces at San Jacinto, they encounter a band of notorious outlaws that roam no-man's land between the borders of Louisiana and Texas. The outlaws are willing to go to any lengths to gain Mort's knowledge of the old Spanish trail leading from the Washita Mountains through North Texas where gold is said to be buried. The two embark on a journey to the Red River in far North Texas to seek refuge in the raw wilderness that borders the Indian Territory.When they arrive, they find settlements springing up around every trading post, as homesteaders ferry across the Red River to claim land already promised as hunting grounds to the Indians.It doesn't take very long for a new war to flare, this time between the settlers and the hostile bands intent on reclaiming their old lands. Blood Trail is the first book of a series.
