Western

The War Within is a gritty, action-packed, and vividly told story of seventeen year old Boston debutante, Cathleen O'Donnell and her struggle to survive an Indian attack that killed her family, and forced her to depend on a hated Rebel to avoid being sold to Mexican traders as a slave.

Cathleen's father, U.S.Army Colonel Patrick O'Donnell and family, had traveled West by stage coach. On the same road Confederate Cavalry Major Henry Morgan, bitter and alone,rode his horse. They were part of a flood of North and South veterans seeking a fresh start and trying to forget the Civil War.

Comanche Indians viewed the invading Whites as prey, that provided an opportunity for glory, slaves, and horses. The clash of the two cultures was a bloody continuation of the emotional stress of the Civil War. Cathleen and Morgan, must heal their personal animosity and control individual fears, to out run the vengeful Indians on their trail... or die.

Re: The War Within

I totally agree with the reader. Bob Gaston has captured an
aspect of post-Civil War Texas seldom read or seen. His
story is real. It happened. He only converted it to
fiction. I strongly recommend this excellent educational
read.
