A tale of Moving West...

Clay Perkins, a young man in his twenties, realized that this sleepy midwest town was too small to support his undertakers' venture. With less than ten burials in the past year he was going to be out of business soon. His family all agrees, relocating back to Texas might be the smartest course of action.

Upon reaching Dallas, his sister Dolly tells him she has made plans to go west with a wagon train accompanied by her new love interest, a former deputy marshal. Clay, his father and brother all decide to also go along and begin a new life homesteading in the Montana territories. 

Harsh plains weather, Indian encounters and even interpersonal strife among the pioneers, make the journey difficult and highly eventful. Upon reaching Montana more challenges arise, keeping the family struggling just to survive in a wild and untamed wilderness.

W.R. Benton westerns keep you reading way too late into the night—old-school frontier stories with action that pulls no punches.
