American Cowboys - Paperback

by Aaron C. Rhodes (Author)

After the Civil War, America experienced division and wounds. People came to the American Southwest after the war seeking a new start, a reclamation of their dreams for a better life, a new life altogether. A life far removed from the trauma of war and hatred. The Southwest allowed these people from all walks a genuine chance at that new life.

Frank Morgan and John Rose, veterans of the Civil War, sought hope and opportunity in this new land. They would form a group that would embody the genuine spirit of cowboys. Their goal would be to defend railroads and protect those unable to defend themselves. This group would become known as the American Cowboys. Through their adventures, they would develop many friendships, find new love, make great sacrifices, and hand out justice.

In 1890, a tragedy and societal changes threatened the way of life for the American Cowboys, challenging the group to stay together. These cowboys, who have bonds stronger than bloodlines or backgrounds, must come together to help save the daughter of Navajo Chief Lonewolf-whom the notorious bandit Dane Manson kidnapped.

The American Cowboys will face redemption and loss as they answer Frank Morgan's life motto: Death faces every man. What makes a man is how he faces death.
