Description

They are strangers in a strange land - a land of German immigrants trespassing across the Jensen family spread. Led by a baron felling a dark past in Germany and accompanied by a woman beautiful enough to dazzle young Matt, the pilgrims are being pursued by a pack of brutal outlaws hungry for blood, money - or maybe something else.... The Jensens are willing to help the pioneers get to the promised land in Wyoming. But they don't know the whole story of their newfound friends, or who the owtlaws really are. By the time the wagon trail reaches Wyoming the truth is ready to explode - in a clash of hard fighting hard choices, and hard deaths in a violent land....
