Gunfighters

Summary

In the late 1870s, out in the sparsely settled territory of New Mexico, life was cheap. Rustlers, thieves, and hired gunmen were drawn to a no-man’s land where they were above the law. Times were hard in the no-man’s land of Missouri during the Civil War. Union Soldiers foraged, pillaged and terrorized anyone they suspected of helping the southern cause.
