About this ebook

Aaron Turner is a tall redheaded fifty-three year old minister and Lieutenant Colonel in the Texas militia. Duty calls him to participate in both the Cherokee and Wichita Wars. He and his family struggle to survive the financial panic of 1837, Indian raids, a whooping cough epidemic and scorching drought. He responds with optimism, determination and innovation. When money is scarce, they gather and sell wild horses. When food is scarce, they travel to the dangerous Comancheria to hunt buffalo. As the Mexican-American War erupts, Aaron is commissioned Colonel of Scouts and leads a regiment that will play a significant role in the conflict in a faraway land. Will the time come when the old warrior will lay down his saber? Will he hang up his guns in peace at last? RIDE FOR THE LONE STAR, the fourth volume in the Western Quest Series, follows Aaron Turner, his family and friends, through the turbulent days of the Republic of Texas, culminating in the annexation of Texas by the United States and the Mexican-American War. STEPHEN L. TURNER was born a fifth generation Texan, sixth generation Arkansan, and eighth generation American. His youth was steeped in the history and culture of his heritage. A graduate of Texas Tech School of Medicine, he has worked as a pediatrician in rural Plainview, Texas since 1984. He is married with two married children. His other time is spent on their panhandle ranch, raising horses and hunting. His other novels in the Western Quest Series to date are OUT OF THE WILDERNESS, ON THE CAMINO REAL and UNDER TROUBLED SKIES, all from Sunstone Press.

Stephen L. Turner

Stephen L. Turner is a fifth generation Texan and eighth generation American. His life’s dream was to have a successful rural medical practice, a good ranch with quality cattle and horses, and a fine home for his family. Having attained those goals, he retired from medicine, sold their home and ranch on the plains, and moved with his wife to the south Texas coast. He enjoys the role of grandfather to his three granddaughters and still pursues his writing, hunting and fishing, but now in the shade of live oak and palm trees. He is a member of Sons of Confederate Veterans, Hood’s Texas Brigade Association, the Texas Genealogical Society, and the Western Writers of America. He is the author of the seven other books in the Western Quest Series, all from Sunstone Press.
