  • 1864
  • Virginia.
  • Amidst
  • the
  • tangled
  • hell
  • of
  • The
  • Wilderness
  • battleground,
  • young
  • Jesse
  • Bob
  • Blue,
  • under
  • the
  • Rebel
  • banner
  • of
  • the
  • stars
  • and
  • bars
  • performs
  • a
  • deed
  • of
  • memorable
  • courage.
  • In
  • reward
  • a
  • grateful
  • General
  • Longstreet
  • himself
  • signs
  • the
  • furlough-permission
  • that
  • grants
  • Jesse
  • Bob
  • home
  • leave. Many
  • miles
  • east
  • of
  • Virginia
  • an
  • arrogant
  • rancher
  • and
  • his
  • gang
  • of
  • violent
  • vigilantes
  • are
  • invading
  • the
  • Indian
  • homelands
  • and
  • leading
  • a
  • rapacious
  • attack
  • on
  • a
  • band
  • of
  • peaceful
  • Indians.
  • He
  • is
  • to
  • go
  • to
  • his
  • grave
  • not
  • knowing
  • the
  • far-reaching
  • effects
  • of
  • what
  • he
  • has
  • done.
  • His
  • wanton
  • slaughter
  • rouses
  • the
  • whole
  • of
  • Indian
  • Territory
  • and
  • the
  • tribes
  • come
  • together
  • with
  • vengeance
  • on
  • their
  • minds.
  • It
  • is
  • to
  • be
  • the
  • biggest
  • raid
  • ever
  • that
  • has
  • crossed
  • the
  • unprotected
  • borders
  • of
  • Texas. Kiowa,
  • Comanche
  • and
  • Cheyenne
  • Dog
  • Soldiers
  • join
  • forces
  • and
  • sweep
  • down
  • towards
  • the
  • unsuspecting
  • homesteads
  • all
  • across
  • northern
  • Texas. Jesse
  • Bob
  • gets
  • back
  • to
  • Beulah
  • Creek
  • to
  • find
  • a
  • danger
  • awaiting
  • him
  • and
  • his
  • loved
  • ones
  • far
  • greater
  • than
  • those
  • found
  • on
  • the
  • hard
  • fought
  • and
  • bloody
  • battlegrounds
  • of
  • the
  • Civil War.
