Description
A gunslinger gets bloody payback in this western from USA Today bestselling author Ralph Compton.
Nathan Stone experienced the horror of Civil War battlefields. But the worst lies ahead. When he returns to Virginia, to the ruins of what was his home, he discovers his father butchered and his mother and sister stripped, ravished, and slain. The seven renegades who did it rode away to the West. Half-starved and afoot, he takes to their trail.
Nathan Stone’s deadly oath—blood for blood—will cost him seven long years, as he rides the lawless trails of an untamed frontier. His skill with a Colt will match him with the likes of the Jameses and the Youngers, Wild Bill Hickok, John Wesley Hardin, and Ben Thompson. Nathan Stone will become the greatest gunfighter of them all, shooting his way along the most relentless vengeance trail a man has ever ridden to the savage end…and this is how it all begins.

The Dawn of Fury
1By Ronnieh48Ralph Compton no more wrote this book than I did, it early no resemblance to his style, methodology, or depth. This book is shallow and lacks a true plot other than vengeance made weak by its selfishness. I could write better as a rank amateur than this obviously ghost written farce.Civil War, Gunslingers, Revenge.
5By Appler23I thoroughly enjoyed Ralph Compton's story-telling in this post Civil War story of a man seeking revenge for the brutal killing of his family. If you like westerns, gambling, train robbers, and drunken bar fights....you will like this book!
