The Trail to Taos By Marvin Wallace

VERO BEACH, Fla. - Jan. 6, 2024 - PRLog -- Danger, Romance, & Humor Rule in This Dynamic Western

The Trail to Taos Has It All!

Into the harsh yet stunning landscape of Taos, New Mexico, comes Abel Spence, a young man looking for the person involved in his sister's death.

The year is 1882.

The rain came down hard and fast as it sometimes does in the high and normally dry northern part of the New Mexico territory. Gullies and arroyos soon became awash with the runoff that didn't have time to soak into the arid ground. These rains never lasted long, though, and posed no real danger to anyone familiar with those types of fast-moving thunderheads.

The uninitiated travelers, though, who may choose to set up camp in an arroyo, thinking they had protection from the elements, usually realized too late as floodwaters surged through, inundating everything in its path.

With danger around every corner, this emotionally charged Western follows Abel after he sets out from his farm in southern Colorado, only to end up in the middle of a volatile range war between two cattle ranchers. Abel's life also becomes entangled with two young ladies, one a rancher's daughter, and the other being pursued by a vicious saloon boss.

There are also some elements of unexpected humor, adding real-life flavor to this story for enthusiasts of Westerns.
