In the turbulent decade of the 1850s, war clouds gathered above the Brazos region of Texas. Robert Simpson Neighbors, Indian Agent for Texas, former Texas Ranger and Mexican War veteran, found himself in the middle of the gathering storm, caught between the western push of Anglo civilization and the numerous Native American tribes of the frontier. Major Neighbors was one of the few friends of the Texas Indians. His vision was to see the native people have a home of their own along the Brazos River and its tributaries, a place to call their own and live in peace with the Anglo settlers. All that stood in his way were politicians, land-greedy white men, Army officers who refused to acknowledge the presence of the peaceful tribes, bands of Comanches and Kiowas determined to hold their ancestral grounds, and Texans who hated the red man. Robert Neighbors was one man who could prevent the showdown on the Brazos. This is a novelization of that remarkable story.
