West of Laramie

Scott Walker returns home to Missouri from his stay in a Confederate hospital only to find his home burned by Quantrills raiders, and his family relocated to Wyoming. But his long trek to be reunited with his kin is only the beginning of his troubles. When he reaches Laramie he finds his sweetheart married to his older brother, and his father embroiled in a bloody battle with a deputy surveyor for the railroad. Has Scott survived the war only to be killed in a struggle for land? With the railroads on one side, landowners on another, and fierce Indians against them all, Scott is caught in a whirlwind of progress, greed and the efforts to bind a continent with iron rails.Savage, Les, Jr. is the author of 'West of Laramie ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781585479467 and ISBN 1585479462.
