Irishman Doug Monahan runs a fencing crew outside the south Texas town of Twin Wells, digging post-holes and stringing red painted barbed wire for ranchers as protection against wandering stock, rustlers and land hungry thugs.

Monahan's fencing operation is opposed by Captain Andrew Rinehart, a former Confederate officer and an old-school open range baron of the huge R Cross spread.

With his brutal foreman, Archer Spann, assigned to the violent work, Rinehart wages a barbed wire war against Doug Monahan.  

And neither side takes prisoners!

Good story

No real twists, yet a good story line that keeps you engaged while rooting for the Right and angered against the “villain.”

This was a good listen

loved the way this book was dramatized. From beginning to the end was just a great wholesome
