TAMING SPIRIT VALLEY: Spirit Valley Series Book Two

Bob Ryan

Orville and Fergus are now married and think they are settled and ready for their first spring in the beautiful confines of the Spirit Valley horse ranch. More work than they anticipated requires the hiring of help to build barns, smokehouses, outhouses, and fencing. The hired hands become partners in returning stock and punishing those who burned their cabins. A windfall of goods turns them all into a freighting company from Bent’s Fort to Santa Fe. This book describes pioneer life and depicts how they made do with what they had. The families must fight Indians, grizzly bears, and being sold into slavery, while trading fresh horses and mules at Bent’s Fort to the freighter and pioneers on the Santa Fe Trail. The War with Mexico breaks out stopping trade on the trail and causes a hardship on their Mexican friends.
