Synopsis

Trey and Mort were cowmen and like all cowboys they worked from dawn til dusk. It was hard work but what they really wanted was what all cowboys wanted...a winter home. It did not always happen that way and when the Texas Rangers looked like the answer they went for it. Hunting men who deserved to be caught was acceptable to them, but killing women and children was not.
Trey Belanger's father had come from New Orleans and it lured them to a city where they were out of their element, but it led him to some relatives he did not know he had. It also led him to an appointment with death at the hands of a killer. Dueling was something he knew nothing about but he quickly learned from a kindly old black man.
The city was not for these two, they lived for the range and the cattle that peppered it. The wide open spaces and the trail drives were in their blood, but it was always the same when winter came and hands were laid off. Where to find a winter home.
The other side of the mountains looked good to them and their search for that winter home led them into a range war. It was a one sided war but they were never quitters, and besides it was hard to leave a pretty girl with so much trouble.
The Ranger training evened the odds somewhat but two men against a gang the size of O'Ryan's was something that even they had to admit was lopsided. The 'Lazy H' was encircled by trouble and was floundering, but they were determined not to let that happen.
