Used Book in Good Condition
Tree Hooker will take on anything―man, animal, or force of nature―that stands in the way of his cattle drives during the Civil War. He’s a Confederate soldier trying to save his country from starvation. Assigned to lead a group of tough, sun-baked cow hunters, he sets out to supply the South with beef from the herds on Florida’s plains. Plenty of others also want those herds. There are the Yankees, led by men like Major Dan Greenley. He’s tired of the war and knows that it will end quickly once the Confederacy runs out of food. Greenley is new to Florida and still believes in fighting by the rules of civilized warfare. But he’s also a fast learner. He soon realizes that there is no such thing as civilized warfare in the palmetto scrub. A few people try to keep their humanity despite being surrounded by the horrors of war. Doris Brava is one of those. A young widow surviving on her own in Yankee-occupied St. Augustine, she finds hope and love in an unlikely place―Greenley’s arms. But hope and love can’t shield Doris from the savagery that rules on the palmetto plains.
