Summary

Stand Proud: "Frank Claymore is cantankerous, stubborn, and intolerant--just the qualities that make him a success as an open-range cattle rancher on the West Texas frontier. Stand Proud follows Claymore from the time of the Civil War to the dawn of the twentieth century--through marriage, births, deaths, and a creeping change in the society that once hailed him as a hero, and which later has him condemned as a despoiler and tried for murder." -- Page [4] coverEyes of the Hawk: "Thomas Canfield descends from a line of Texas's earliest settlers. A proud man with a fierce-eyed stare, he inspires the Mexicans of Stonehill, Texas, to call him el gavilán--'the hawk.' When Branch Isom--an insolent, dangerous newcomer--seeks to build his fortune at Canfield's expense, an all-out feud ensues, hurtling the town toward a day of reckoning that will shake the entire town to its very roots." -- Page [4] cover
