Down by the River

by Jack LaFountain

There were many things about the war that Nate Carson wanted to forget. None more than the night on Culp’s Hill when he saw something he was never meant to see. He rode a thousand miles to Texas, only to find that some memories have a way of following no matter where you go. Those memories can be real killers. Nate’s quest for peace and solitude on the banks of the Red River becomes a fight to simply stay alive. Help comes from across the river, but will a pair of Chickasaw hunters be enough? Nate and his friends must take on the Texas Rangers, the local sheriff, Pinkerton detectives, a crooked congressman and the inhuman killer the government has loosed upon them.
