Ralph Compton North to the Salt Fork

In this western in Ralph Compton's USA Today bestselling series, a Civil War veteran learns the fight isn't over...

Hiram Sawyer has designs on every inch of cattle range in the surrounding territory and he isn’t about to let some ex-reb steal the heart of the widow whose ranch he covets. With men on both sides of the law willing to do his bidding, Sawyer begins a campaign to destroy Jack.
 
But he’s just declared war on the wrong man…
