Moon Medicine by Mike Blakely
From the author of the critically acclaimed COMANCHE DAWN comes the story of the first American fort in Comanche Country and the men and women who built it. When Honore Greenwood sits down to tell his tale, people listen. Friends of such stalwarts of the West as Kit Carson, Thomas Fitzpatrick, John Hatcher and the Bent Brothers. Greenwood at ninety-nine, has lived the life of a legend. Greenwood came to America stowed away on a packet bound for New Orleans. He was wanted for murder in Paris for killing a master swordsman who raped the women he loved. His destination is the wildest frontier in 1840's America, the Indian ranges of the Great Southern Plains. After falling in love with Gabriela Badillo, a beautiful young woman from Taos who is tragically promised to another, Homer carries his broken heart into the wilderness. He volunteers for a most dangerous project. He will build a fort right in the middle of Comanche Country.
