The Conchos Kid

[This book may only be purchased as a Kindle book or paperback through Amazon.]

Lee Morrison's family is killed by Union artillery near the beginning of the Civil War in Texas.
He joins the Confederate Cavalry to get revenge.
At the end of the war, he and all of the men left in his cavalry unit form a gang to get back at the carpetbaggers that have stolen their land. They kill carpetbaggers and rob the banks the carpetbaggers now own. The rewards get so high on them, that they must separate and leave Texas.
Lee Morrison (aka The Conchos Kid) heads north to hopefully find a new life without using his guns. In his new life, Lee helps a lot of people and finally finds a place he can settle down. Unfortunately, The Conchos Kid needs to come out of retirement to provide some help.
