Against All Odds

The Dragoon Cattle Company, Book 1

By: Dave P. Fisher

Narrated by: Benjamin Koenig

The first book in a brand new Western adventure series from Dave P. Fisher!

The war was near to ending when Confederate Major Jason Wells was mortally wounded. Sergeant Nolan Callahan stuck with him in a futile attempt to get him to help. The Major’s last dying act was to grip Nolan’s arm and say, ‘I have cattle land in Arizona, I give it to you. In Tucson, see a man named Seabrooke – tell him’. Nolan wondered on the Major’s dying words. He knew nothing of Arizona, but he would keep it in mind.

Lee’s surrender came only days later. Nolan returned home to Arkansas, as did his brothers, and a Texas friend. Telling them about the Arizona land, they volunteered to go with him to see what it was. He agreed it was worth a look, setting off a thousand-mile journey into the wild lands of west Texas. The danger-wracked venture proved to be anything but easy, but as they survived the elements, outlaws, Comanches, and Apaches their wild land savvy grew.

Reaching Tucson, Nolan found Thaddeus Seabrooke at the land office. The property was half of an old Spanish land grant Jason Wells had purchased. Seabrooke tells Nolan, ‘It’s yours, if you can hold it against the Apaches, cattle thieves, Yankee carpetbaggers, and Emiliano Zamora. The odds are against you’. Here was the seed to a cattle empire. The odds be damned, they would hold it!
