The Checker Board

Book Two: Life's Endgame

Beschreibung

By 1883, Dave Smith has matured into the cowboy life without fear of retribution from his father's criminal schemes, but the long reach of Jason de Forest sends bounty hunter outlaws after Dave resulting in a shootout that kills four men. The last great overland cattle-drive of the Checker Board on the old Chisholm Trail into Kansas is confounded by misfortunes. Subsequent confrontations lead deeper into disaster, all maneuvered by an unseen vicious hand at land grabbing that results in a deadly attack. The combined forces of Checker Board hands, Mexicans, and Comanche Indians assault the Checker Board ranch to seize control from brutal squatters. The ensuing massacre brings reprisals against them and brands them renegades. Sam Eagle Feather attempts to bring about a cease-fire between the law and the renegades succeeding only in a lone rescue in order to fight another day.

Autor

Nedler Palaz is a pen-name chosen by the author to reflect the western back- ground of the fiction series of "Checker Board" books. The author, Nellie Pallagi, has a life time interest in the western genre. The series follows the exploits of a nineteen-year-old runaway, Dave Smith, who learns equal amounts of ranching and gun-fighting skills in 1879 Texas, and then travels onward into new adventures throughout the west. This book, in particular, picks up the story fifteen years after resigning as a federal marshal, and continues the exploits of Dave Smith, while including the history and build out of Wyoming. In 1896, civilization has finally taken hold after decades of Indian warfare with the Army, cattle wars, and final Indian settlement in reservations. Yet one more struggle remained in which Dave Smith and Sam Eagle Feather confronts the fiercest fighters of old Indian warfare - The Cheyenne Dog Soldiers. Ms. Pallagi resides in Granville, Ohio.
