Cullen Baker, is a young cowboy, who returns to his late parents' dilapidated farm to start life anew. Looming over him are old enemies, rival neighbours and post-Civil War Reconstructionists. A young lady has also caught his eye.
The action scenes are frenetic with the burgeoning romance delicately handled. Characters are well written and believable with women just as head strong and gutsy. For my first Western, highly recommend. Yee-ha!
