This story is part adventure, part romance, and part Old West. It begins in July 1866. We are introduced to James Taliaferro Cunningham, a large and rather formidable man who was a colonel serving under General Robert E. Lee. James saves a young Southerner, Billy, from being murdered by a man in a saloon in Kansas, and the two become friends. If you like Westerns, this is one for the ages. You'll enjoy taking this journey with The Colonel and Billy, encountering many adventures, both dangerous and romantic as they make their way through the post-Civil War wild west.
