Maverick Raid

by Terrell L. Bowers

Lou Travis, an ex-Yankee captain, does not expect a warm welcome from any Texan right after the War Between the States. But he must go to Clearwater, Texas, for he has promised Will Mallory, a dying Confederate soldier, to take some money to his wife. While Travis delivers the money, then helps the young widow rebuild her cattle herd, it isn’t the Texans who harass him. It’s Captain Speevy of the Union Army—with his vicious band of goons—the man who metes out martial “justice” in Clearwater. Captain Speevy has his eye on Will Mallory’s widow. But April Mallory prefers Lou Travis. And if Speevy can’t drive out the newcomer—well, he’ll just find some way to kill him.

Homecoming

A fast paced, hard riding story. Homeward bound after serving in the Civil War, Captain Louis Travis and Corporal LeRoy Jackson head out to reestablish their lives now as civilians. One of the dying Confederate soldiers entrusts Travis to take money he had saved to his wife and daughter. What awaits them theft, swindling, murder, and cattle rustling. There is danger aplenty for our heroes and the people they come in contact with. It’s an enjoyable read, hard to put down.

A Good book among many

I don’t know why we are leaving reviews anymore. This is a good bunch of books and the author is about 78 years old. Maybe his kids will be glad he has income coming in from them!😊
