About this audiobook
The Union nearly killed him in the Civil War. Then the bluecoats and carpetbaggers stole his Texas plantation and turned what was left of his family against him. His Texas home-town became an armed camp, full of corrupt, greedy Yankees anxious to wipe out any veteran that showed up in tattered Confederate gray. Any other man would have just drifted on, but not Confederate Captain Clete Slater. Based on actual records, this epic series captures the postwar West and the explosive story of a town held hostage by Northern corruption...and the one man who dared to fight back.
