With nowhere else to turn, he joins Josiah Slaughter's Company of Missouri Rangers, and by the time the War is over, he'll not only be a man -- he'll be a legend. --michael-zimmer.com

About the Author:

Michael Zimmer writes Western and historical fiction. His work has been praised by Booklist, Library Journal, Historical Novel Society, and others. Born in Indiana, and raised there and in Colorado, Zimmer now resides in Utah with his wife, Vanessa.

From Library Journal:

Zimmer's second novel fulfills the promise of his first, Sundown. His style is neat and spare, his characters people to be concerned about, and the setting one of great interest to readers of Western history--Missouri during the Civil War. Jesse Ross, an 18-year-old Missouri farm boy, joins the Missouri Rangers, who are rangers of a better sort--fighters not marauders. As a Ranger, Jesse toughens and hardens but is never a willing killer. His love for Missouri and farming and loyalty to friends and the Confederacy never falters. A pleasing book about an unpleasant subject--the ugliness of war of any kind.
