They came into Big Springs, Texas, from the north ... but they might just as well have come straight out of the past. They were thirty men clad in buckskins, toting flintlocks and muzzle-loaders, and they wanted - and took - everything Big Springs had to offer.
That was their biggest mistake.
Governor Lester Dukes reckoned they were 'The Lost Ones', the last remnants of Quantrill's Raiders, a bunch of Rebel hold-outs who'd refused to surrender after Appomattox. He figured they were holed up in the Texas Breaks, an uncharted wilderness that had a nasty habit of swallowing up anyone who tried to explore it.
They could have stayed there, for all Dukes cared. But the minute they started robbing and killing innocent Texans, he made a decision to send Yancey Bannerman and Johnny Cato in to deal with the problem.
Two Enforcers, against a small but ruthless army.
