The Man from Shenandoah

Marsha Ward

Writers Club Press, 2003

  • Marsha Ward: Author
Novel, Historical Fiction
Carl Owen doesn't intend to lose anything—not his land, not his cattle, and certainly not his girl—ever again! The young cavalryman returns from the Civil War to find the family farm destroyed, his favorite brother dead, food scarce, and his father determined to leave the Shenandoah Valley to build a cattle empire in Colorado Territory. Crossing the continent, Carl falls in love with his brother's fiancée while set to wed another girl, but he might lose everything if the murderous thug Berto Acosta has his way. Carl battles a band of outlaws, a prairie fire, blizzards, a trackless waterless desert, and his own brother—all for the hand of feisty Ellen Bates. [from author web site]
