"We'bout got this part of the countryside sewed up tighter'n a shroud."

During the Civil War,our hero John Slocum has seen some pretty horrendous brutality,but nothing could have prepared him for what he is about to encounter at the hands of the Schuylkill Butchers. Here Slocum meets up with a large gang of miners who were known as the Molly Mcguires ,who came from County Limmerick in Ireland to work as miners in the Pennsylvania coal mines. They were the early union members who fought and in the end lost their wars with the ruthless mine owners. The decided to throw in the towel and strike out for the west to Montana to start new lives and actually a new country for themselves.What they learned from the brutality that was used towards them,was adopted and improved upon in their pursuits. It seemed that there was no depths that they would not descend to and woe those who attempted to stand in their way----that is until their path crossed with John Slocum. This saga is as rough and tough as a good Old West western gets..The story is well written,has great characters and every page is filled with action and excitement.
