The Hunted — James Reasoner

Ater two grueling years in a Yankee prison camp, Evan Littleton makes his way home to Texas only to find his loving wife dead, his farm taken over by Yankee carpetbaggers, and his six children scattered to the winds. He is determined to find his children, but with no money, no horse, and winter approaching, the odds against him are high. And worse, outlaws, state police, and Indians are tracking him like prey. Littleton must summon a strength that got buried in the war, or lose all that he holds dear in the world.
