Steep mountain climbs, Indian raids, and lonely New Mexico roads bathed in murderous heat – Crow Woodruff has seen it all.

But he’s never had an ex-boss try to shoot him dead.

Tired of being treated like a slave, Crow leaves Lawrence Bain’s freighting company and soon finds himself in charge of his own.

Now, Bain is losing his fortune. He’s desperate to regain his domination of the supply routes and all the people he abuses for to maintain a life of luxury.

With their bitter past fueling his desire to triumph over Bain, Crow refuses to put his mules back in the stall.

It’s not about making money. It’s about standing up for what’s right.

A rain of bullets begins to fall on the desert and Crow is called crazy for keeping his wagons on the road. But others call him a hero. Like Gina Dryden.

Gina hates men like Bain. She’s heard the secrets of their world of silver and gold – and she wants it all destroyed. With the help of Gina, Crow tightens his grip on the bullwhip and sends his wagons deeper into Bain’s tide of mercenaries and corruption.

Will Crow’s wagons carry him to his own grave? Or can his Colt .45 and his dreams overcome the manic thirst of the desert desperadoes?

Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.

Each book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.


Crow (American Post-Civil War Westerns) Reviews


  • Linda Thomas

    Crow and Louie had a craving for a business of their own, others disagreed.

    Crow and Louie were both teamsters, mule skinners with good reps. When they discovered their boss was a coward that ran and left his crew to be shot at and some killed. Crow flattened him and labeled him a coward in front of others. They moved on to find a good boss that was teaching them how to run their own business. The old boss didn’t leave them alone and soon the killers were on their trail the story get nasty from there.

  • Jim Johnson

    Good Read

    Really liked this story about teamsters and what the job entailed. The job was tough enough but the greedy rich men using outlaws to kill the competitors. Yet there was romance thrown in.

  • BLOOPY!

    Enjoyed the story. Had editing errors. Shot in shoulder but then the leg is the one shot. Mixing up characters.
