King of the Frontier
In 1870, after the Civil War, the American West is still ruled by guns, gold, and men willing to take what the law cannot protect. Twenty-two-year-old cavalry veteran Jack Walker returns home to find his father ruined by a railroad syndicate, his family land stolen, his mother dead, and his younger brother missing. All he has left is an old horse, a wartime revolver, and his father's journal. Hidden inside the journal is the secret of a gold vein and the truth behind the destruction of the Walker family. Jack rides into the frontier, survives outlaws, wolves, dust storms, bounty hunters, tribes, and railroad assassins, then rises through gold, gunfire, land, and hard rules to build mines, ranches, banks, railroads, and cities into a western empire. In time, he becomes the man history remembers as the King of the Frontier.
