Synopsis

They called themselves the Texas Mounted Rifles - and they were formed by the State of Texas to hold back the Indians while the regular troops fought a civil war. Scout Sam Houston Cloud joined up because he wanted to protect a land he loved. He had counted on fighting the fierce Comanche warriors whose hatred and resentment for the white interloper knew no mercy. What Sam cloud hadn't figured on was his commander, Captain Barcroft - a fanatical Indian hunter, who led his small, ill-prepared company against an enemy much wiser in the ways of the land than they.
