The Trail to Taos

This exciting, yet emotionally charged Western follows the life of Abel Spence, a young man who sets out from his farm in Southern Colorado to search for the person involved in the death of his younger sister. The trail leads him into a volatile range war between two cattle ranchers in the rugged, mountainous country around Taos, New Mexico. Abel's life also becomes entangled with two young ladies, one the daughter of one of the ranchers, and the other, a woman being pursued by an angry and vicious saloon boss demanding the return of his "property." This action-packed tale provides both adventure and romance. It also includes some surprising humor that pops up at awkward times, making the story resemble real-life situations.
