by George M. Goodwin (Author)
Benjamin Franklin Blackstone married the girl of his dreams, Sarah, and raised eight boys in the hills outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Life may not have been easy, but it was good for them all. When Ben found out that a war that would split the nation in two was on the verge if Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860, he and Sarah decided they would rather give up the home they'd made for themselves and move their boys west to a place the war would not reach, in order to keep them safe.
After traveling a great distance, a wheel on their wagon finally gave out forty miles outside of Abilene, Texas, and the family decided it was where the Lord had led them to.
Not long after their new homestead was settled and on its way to producing a good life for them, the boys, all grown, decided, one by one, to make his own way in the world. Samuel, the eldest, decided to serve the Lord and become a pastor. Six of the other boys became lawmen, and eventually, Texas Rangers. The worst part was, they soon found themselves hunting one of the their own. Michael, born fifth within the brood line, took a different turn in life. One that would keep him far away from home, and running to escape the badges his brothers chose to wear.
Would the brothers ever be able to reunite as a family before it was too late for one, or all, of them?
