Disillusioned U.S. Cavalry Major Sam Nabors hopes to retire when he is called to Fort Leavenworth in the post-Civil War West. Guilt-ridden after the murder of his family on their Silver Creek farm in Kansas, Nabors is promoted to colonel and convinced by General Andy Chutte that he is one of few who can lead a mission to retrieve an abandoned cache of gold…before disaffected Confederate marauders steal it to finance a new war. Nabors grudgingly accepts, buying time to resolve his grief and please the general.
Nabors is joined by an unlikely match of Union and Southern officers, the famed all-black Buffalo Soldiers, Comanche and Osage, and remarkable emancipated women of the period. Too late, a supposedly loyal officer is linked to his family’s death…and a whole lot more. A trail of blood and betrayal ensues from New Mexico territory to Silver Creek before Nabors and fellow warriors extract the long-delayed revenge and Nabors can hang up his spurs for good.

This book was the brain child of Arch E Gibson, my father, and he handed to me to finish shortly before he passed away. This book is a tribute to him and his vision.
I'm looking forward to visiting with my current readers and new readers alike. See you there!
