This is a novel of violence -- of courage, of terror, of all the passions that make men fight to the death for the thing they want most. This time it was land. Texas land.
This is the story of the bitter struggle between the settlers and the proud and fierce Indians who resisted the white man's invasion.
But mostly it is the story of three men -- a white man, a red man, and a black man -- whose daring exploits changed the face of a nation.
