HooDoo War - A Tale of the Mason County War #833373

Set in the backdrop of one of the bloodiest range wars in Texas history, HooDoo War is the story of Boyd Wechsler, the son of a lovely young widow, who grows up on his wealthy grandfather’s ranch. He learns the truth about his long-dead father when a ruthless outlaw and his gang are arrested and condemned to death at the hands of a corrupt sheriff. After learning the secret his mother and grandfather kept from him his entire life, he finds himself on a path shared by those who seek revenge against his grandfather and the men who support him.
This heart-wrenching Western drama follows a German immigrant boy’s life, from learning the truth about his late father, who died under suspicious circumstances, through early manhood, when he learns the truth about his birth and the reason he has always been an outcast. His path leads him into the middle of the violence of the Mason County War.
From his efforts to please a stern grandfather who will never respect him, to discovering a lost uncle whose singular goal is to see his grandfather dead for his sins from before Boyd’s birth, Boyd will have to choose between honor or vengeance. Does he remain loyal to the family who raised him, or does he betray that upbringing to honor the blood that flows in his veins?
In this Texas Frontier Tale, Craig Rainey weaves his fictional characters into the tapestry of the history of the Mason County War – the Texas range war known as the HooDoo War.
