Cole Barrett didn't expect a hero's welcome in Texas for he had fought on the Union side, but the cold enmity of his sister Martha was a shock. Then his father, old and broken, whispered "You're tough inside, Cole-tougher than the rest of us. I know you'll fight." Fight he did, for the Barretts were hemmed in by haughty Spanish landowners on one side and the crooked Gillis gang on the other. Cole knew he'd have to fight every step of the way to drive his cattle to market.
