From the Publisher:

This fifteenth anniversary edition of David Wilkinson's bloody and gripping first novel, Not Between Brothers, spans a crucial period of American westward expansion into the Lone Star State. The book vividly captures the risks involved in staking claim to a frontier already owned by another people and the forces that helped transform Texas from a depository for undesirables into the most fiercely contested territory of its time.
