Third in the classic Western series from the<br />
award-winning author of The Barefoot Brigade<br />
and Elkhorn Tavern.<br />
Young Roman Hasford stood by his mother and sister on the family’s<br />
Arkansas hill farm while his father was off fighting the Civil War. Now that<br />
his father has returned, Roman heads west to blaze his own trail. Eager<br />
for adventure, Roman gets more than he bargained for—from the roughand-tumble<br />
boomtown of Leavenworth, Kansas, to the blood-soaked<br />
prairies where he fights Cheyenne warriors at the Battle of Beecher<br />
Island. Authentic and action-packed, Roman is an epic, unforgettable<br />
coming-of-age story, set against the background of the sprawling, wild,<br />
new frontier of the American West.<br />
Praise for Golden Spur Award-winning author Douglas C. Jones:<br />
“A superb storyteller and authentic chronicler of the American West.”<br />
