    About this series

    Dick Barth is ex-Confederate Calvary officer Slate Creed’s last chance. Barth is the only remaining man who can clear Creed’s name from a hanging charge. Unfortunately for Creed, Barth and his new partner “Stinky” Wilson” have just managed to escape the Arkansas Van Buren jail, leaving behind a trail of blood and death. Believing the renegades intend to hide out in the Boston Mountains, the local sheriff washes his hands of the matter, saying with the current rain storm and the upcoming winter, not to mention the countless hiding places, and the uncivilized mountain dwellers, that it would be futile to go after the two outlaws. Unwilling to let it rest, Creed vows to go after the men alone, and bring them back to face justice. Deputized by the Van Buren sheriff, Creed sets out to find the renegades and finds himself not only facing the natural dangers of the mountains with its shot gun- toting lawless inhabitants, but a danger that is more perilous than he would have ever imagined.

      The Union nearly killed him in the Civil War. Then the bluecoats and carpetbaggers stole his Texas plantation and turned what was left of his family against him. His Texas home-town became an armed camp, full of corrupt, greedy Yankees anxious to wipe out any veteran that showed up in tattered Confederate gray. Any other man would have just drifted on, but not Confederate Captain Clete Slater. Based on actual records, this epic series captures the postwar West and the explosive story of a town held hostage by Northern corruption...and the one man who dared to fight back.

      Old Mexico was behind Creed...for now. Now he was willing to risk his life by going home to the girl and the land he loved. Texada and Texas. Both represented his future and as long as he could breathe he would determine his own destiny. But the road home lay through Victoria County, a place that many considered to be lawless and wild even before the War. He knew he was inviting trouble, but he was in a hurry. Riding into the town of Victoria, Creed finds himself caught in a standoff between the angry townsfolk and the company of Union soldiers sent to occupy the town. Now Creed has to choose between Northern law and Southern loyalty....

      The Civil War left Clete Slater with three things: a price on his head for a crime he didn't commit, his new assumed name of Slate Creed, and a savage thirst for vengeance. To follow the trail of his brother's killers, he left his family, the girl he intended to marry, and his ravaged Texas home-town behind. The Union Army wants Creed, dead or alive. But even far from Texas in the wide-open gambling dens of New Orleans, the bluecoats are just a hoofbeat behind. With luck, Creed might escape the bloodthirsty bluecoats. But if they don't get him, a certain snake of a card cheat, exposed by Creed,  just might...

      The Civil War was hell for Captain Clete Slater, a forgotten hero of the Confederacy, and the Texas Reconstruction's even worse. His Texas home-town is overrun with carpetbaggers and bluecoats. He's hunted by the law for a crime he didn't commit. He rides south to Mexico with a new name, Slate Creed, to hide his real identity. Riding across the Rio Grande, Creed expects to find frontier justice for the real culprits - a murderous gang of bandits who murdered his brother. Instead he finds another country torn apart by its own civil war. And Creed must choose which battle he wants to fight: Mexico's or his own.
