“The Buckskin Line tells of Texas' chaotic early years, when
a ragtag group of irregular volunteers fought to defend the
far edges of settlement from incursion by Indians and
frontier outlaws. In time, they would become known as the
Texas Rangers.”—Elmer Kelton
This is a story of the early days when...
An intense, red-haired young man named Rusty Shannon rides
into Fort Belknap on the Brazos River and joins the Texas
Rangers. Years before, Mike Shannon rescued Rusty from a
Comanche war party and became his adoptive father. Not long
ago, Mike Shannon, was bushwhacked and killed, and his death
still haunts Rusty. Rusty thinks he knows the identity of
Mike’s killers. But with Texas now in the throes of
seceding from the Union, Rusty has his hands full fighting
for the law in lawless Texas and for the life of the woman
he loves.
If that were not enough of a burden, Rusty is also heading
for a showdown with the Comanche warrior who killed his
family over twenty years ago.
