Publisher's Summary:
In the days of reconstruction after the Civil War, a wild strip of land in Northern Louisiana remained unconquered by troops and untamed by the law. This is the story of the fearless veterans - Union and Confederate - who dared to enter this beautiful but hellish valley...and finish what the war started.
Red River Valley, 1869. Hoardes of ex-Confederate soldiers have emerged from the piney hills and mosquito-infested swamps of Louisiana backcountry in a final, bloody show of defiance. After a series of violent raids on carpetbaggers, freed slaves, and Northern cargo ships, Captain Douglas Owens of the 4th Calvary is given orders to reclaim this godforsaken land from its murderous outlaw gangs. By Owens' side is Huff, a former slave, and Basil Dubose, an ex-Rebel gunslinger for hire who answers to no man but his paymaster.
With each deadly encounter it becomes clearer to Owens that neither the army nor the public is willing to spill blood for the sake of freed slaves. With his options dwindling, the captain takes a squad of soldiers under his command - in a last desperate bid for freedom and justice that would change the course of history....

Interesting and informative.
this is an exciting book. I was drawn into the savage feelings of the survivors of the "War of northern aggression." Couldn't put it down.
Wonderful read
Denmon really does an excellent job of transporting you to a different time and a lost era. Looking forward to his next book.
A great read!
It's 1869. The war between the states is over. Life in the south was, to say the least, a challenge. For the landowners who had slaves to work their fields, they were now lucky if the freed men and women would stay to help.
Chaos ruled the land. Outlaws scared the towns. Seeing the freed men and woman as equal was quite another story. Of course some had more difficulty than others.
This book is brilliantly written. It's written like a history book in motion. How creative Randy is! I smile thinking back at the hot air balloon ride. A bit of joy between the hardships.
