Fort Starke Cover Image Large Print Book

Fort Starke [large print] / Will Cook.

Cook, Will. (Author).

Summary:

The fort was cut off and surrounded by Apaches. Two patrols had been wiped out, a third was missing, and the telegraph was down. Inside Fort Starke, men and women waited for inevitable death ... There was Lt. Col. Lunsford, torn by the conflicting loyalties of family and duty, and Cora, his wife, thinking only of her children. Mel Lunsford, the Colonel's oldest son, who was young enough to be eager for the fight, but old enough to be scared stiff. Bob Van Orden, a quietly lethal young man, with his own quarrels to settle, and his own dead to count. Gentry, the scalp-hungry hunter. Sgt. McGuire, a good man with a bottle, or without -- and all the complement of the post, fifty-one men, their wives and children: a living island of hates, fears, loves, quarrels, and laughter. But just how long will they survive?
