When Luke Taylor's father leaves home to fight for the South in the Civil War, it's up to Luke to be the man of the family.
In Luke Taylor - Westward Bound, Luke races against time, Union soldiers, and bounty hunters on his way to join a wagon train in Independence Missouri. With only a packhorse, a few days' supply of food, and a stowaway dog, Luke heads west on a tense, adventure-filled journey of survival. Luke Taylor - Westward Bound takes readers along on a thrilling quest for freedom, peace, and ultimately, revenge.
"Written in the vernacular of the time; Westward Bound brings to light the harsh reality of the period following the Civil War, the time history calls the westward migration. For many like the central character, Luke, the reality of why many came west is portrayed well . Well written, a little harsh, but a great representation of the time." Sid Hagel publisher - Wild West Gazette.
