About this ebook
A Deadly Feud, a Forbidden Love, and a Ranger Caught in the Crossfire
When Texas Ranger Andy Pickard is assigned to patrol the Texas-Mexico border, he rides into a deadly feud between two powerful land and cattle barons - Jericho Jackson, whose vast spread lies north of the Rio Grande, and Guadalupe Chavez, whose domain lies south of the river. The men's hatred for each other, born during the Alamo and the U.S.-Mexican War when Mexican lands were seized by ruthless Americans, has turned to bloody cattle raids on both sides of the border.
Amidst the conflict, Big Jim McCawley's ranch stands as a symbol of hope for peace between the nations. McCawley is married to Chavez's sister, Juana - a fact that pleases neither the Chavez nor Jackson factions. As a former Comanche captive, Andy Pickard is no stranger to old prejudices, but the Jackson-Chavez war is spiraling out of control by the time he and fellow Ranger Farley Brackett reach the border.
The Rangers find themselves entangled in the feud, risking arrest for crossing into Mexico and death for ignoring the warning at the edge of Jackson's land: This is Jericho's Road. Take the Other. As the violence escalates, Andy yearns to marry Bethel Brackett and live peacefully, while Brackett falls for McCawley's half-Mexican daughter, Teresa.
Jericho's Road, the sixth book in Elmer Kelton's acclaimed Texas Ranger series, blends action, drama, romance, and suspense in a masterful tale of the American frontier. Kelton, a renowned Western author, delivers a compelling story of the Wild West, where the line between right and wrong is as blurred as the border between two nations.
