Senator Grant Kirby loses his reelection bid because he refuses to respond to scurrilous accusations made against both himself and his wife by his opponent, Peter Anderson. After his wife's death, Kirby takes pen in hand to set the record straight in an engaging, action packed story of lawmen, Indians, outlaws, love, strength, and survival during the American frontier period. This is another exciting episode in the life of a man whose experiences extend from a riverboat gambling salon, to the rugged hill country of Texas, all the way to the halls of Congress. It is truly a "campfire" tale to savor.
