Rancho Bravo 4

His name was Elias Whitton. Once a slave, he was now a partner in the Rancho Bravo. A man respected, even feared. Part Comanche himself, Elias had pledged guns and supplies to the Indians to help them through the winter. But the Rancho Bravo wagon train loaded with the promised goods was a thousand miles away, perhaps lost or destroyed by looters. When Elias suggested they give the Comanches their guns the others said it was madness, that the Indians would kill them all; but Whitton swore it was their only chance - little knowing that two vicious killers in the territory, Plumb and Devlin, had the power to dash their last remaining shred of hope.
ABOUT THE SERIES
They were an odd mixture: a rancher whose ranch was about to be taken from him by Yankee carpetbaggers ... a former slave ... a Confederate officer who'd lost his right hand ... and a Yankee captain who'd sooner join them that fight them. Together Henry Gannon, Elias Whitton, Loosh Calhoon and Philip Killraine were going to drive four thousand head of wild longhorns smack into the heart of Comanche country and establish the biggest and best ranch in the entire west ... Rancho Bravo!
