about Nueces Truth
Nueces Truth: Texans Face War’s Realities, the sixth of the Tumbleweed Sagas, offers further episodes in the epic adventures of Texas Ranger Captain Luke Dunn. Most of Texas’ best men had joined the Confederate cause, leaving the Texas frontier vulnerable to desperadoes and hostile Indians. While the Rebels fight a losing cause, Dunn’s life is caught up with the rough and tumble and increasingly war-ravaged prairies of the Nueces Strip of 1864. Nueces Truth catches readers up in the dynamics sweeping South Texas during the closing years of the War Between the States. War brings a new dimension to the dangers lurking for Dunn at every turn. Gritty…tough…it’s part and parcel to Luke’s life as lawman and rancher. Just about anywhere he rides, death could be reaching for his reins. Comanche call Dunn Ghost-Who-Rides, his and young Elisa’s ardor know no bounds, paid killers seek to rid the Strip of Dunn’s Justice, savages fight back against their certain demise, new threats to justice emerge, post-war reconstruction poses new dangers, and everything converges at little Nuecestown, Texas.
