The Shadow Riders — Louis L'Amour

RIDE THROUGH THE SHADOW OF DEATH

Dal and Mac Traven left Texas young and idealistic. They came back from opposite sides of a living hell, a war that had torn a nation in two. They wanted only to reclaim their old lives, but one man held their future hostage. Colonel Henry T. Ashford had gathered an army of killers and renegades, leading them on a path of destruction and kidnapping through Texas to the Gulf. Among Ashford's captives were the Travens' sister and Dal's tough-minded girlfriend, Kate. Now Mac and Dal must take up arms once again and ride against Ashford's army--with the courage and guns to fight another war, if that's what it takes to win the freedom of the women they love.
