Sometimes a man has to risk all he cherishes for God and country. He had fought and bled for his country. He had been a war hero and a congressman. He had battled the southern Nullifiers to keep the young United States from splintering. He was the right-hand man of President Andrew Jackson. But now Timothy Barlow has put aside his uniform to lead an easier life on a sprawling Georgia plantation, married to a beautiful Southern belle. With his public service behind him, Barlow intends to spoil the woman he loves, raise a family, and live in peace and prosperity. But yet another war is brewing. Mexico, Britain and France have eyes on the fledgling Republic of Texas and U.S. President Polk will have none of that. The country needs its heroes once again, and Barlow reluctantly dusts off his uniform for one last hurrah. A ROUSING HISTORICAL NOVEL, THE FINAL ENTRY IN THE POPULAR BARLOW TRILOGY WHICH INCLUDES THE LONG HUNTERS AND WAR LOVERS.
