From Randall Dale, the bestselling author of “Pardner’s Trust,” “A Good Man Gone,” and “Hidden Regret’s” comes his latest bestselling Western… “The Captain’s Coat.” As the Civil War drags on a rag-tag group of volunteers look to change the outcome of the bloodiest conflict in United States history. This is the first book in an exciting new Western action series from one of the genre’s most popular authors. Filled with action, adventure and conflict never to be repeated this is the Western you’ve been waiting for. In 1851, President Jefferson Davis authorizes a daring plan for the Confederacy to win the war by taking control of the west. What became known as the Army of New Mexico, a rag-tag group of Texas volunteers, held the balance of the war on their shoulders as they marched to control Northern New Mexico then Denver and on to California and Oregon. The Captain’s Coat is an historical fiction novel following two individuals through the march. Captain Paul Styles, second in command and procedurally rigid to the extreme, is anxious for victory for his beloved Confederacy, and Monroe Weaver, a young cowboy with no interest in the war or the Confederacy, only the money he’ll receive for taking care of the animals on the march. At odds from the beginning, two men with differing motivation play pivotal roles and must work together for the plan to succeed. So different, yet so alike, the men’s willingness to cooperate is stretched to the limit. Throw a beautiful girl into the mix and …. Well, read it and see.
