Rivers West Over one million books were sold in paperback! Rivers West is one of the most exciting frontier series of our time… tales of mountain men and intrepid women, pioneer families and Native American warriors. Here is the story of North America in all its awesome splendor. The Brazos Through a harsh land of mesquite and prickly pear, scattered oaks and carpets of stubborn grass, the Brazos River wound its way south to the Gulf of Mexico. To its banks came settlers from across America, daring men and women who dreamed of owning ranches and farms, building homes for their families, and one day establishing a United States republic in Mexican-held Texas. Among them were Jon Tallman, a wanderer and adventure with hidden motives and a tragic past; Nancy Stafford, a strong-willed pioneer who would not be turned back no matter what the cost; Jacobs, a wagon train leader forced to learn lessons of courage and survival; and Alan, a young boy whose brutal childhood has robbed him of his innocence but not his need for a family’s love. Together they would endure a hostile Mexican government, Indian fury and savage Comanchero outlaw bands to fulfill their destiny on the dangerous banks of the Brazos.
