Buchanan #8
Buchanans War
Buchanan s first job as a Texas Ranger was to head to the small town of Scottsville to stop a war there. Even before Major Jones finished giving him his orders, Buchanan knew he would find Scottsville to be hostile territory. Two cattle barons, who happened to be quick-drawing women, had torn the town apart in a duel that had already cost several lives. Now Buchanan was expected to stop the war, and he knew that he couldn t do that without spilling more blood very possibly some of his own.
