An American Gaucho

An American Gaucho — Robert Fetner

The Civil War is over, and Confederate Captain Robert Murray has lost nearly everything—his home, his family, his friends, and the world he once knew.

With nothing left for him in Georgia, Murray heads for New Orleans, determined to leave the United States and start a new life. Along the way, he encounters danger, violence, and people whose lives have been shattered by the war. He also finds unexpected friends, including Clare, a newly freed woman he rescues from danger.

Eventually Murray's journey takes him across the sea to South America, where he meets Pablo, an Argentine gaucho who becomes his friend and partner. Together they set out to build a new life raising cattle and breeding horses.

But the frontier is no safer than the battlefield. Rivalries, betrayal, cattle thieves, and armed soldiers put their dreams—and their lives—in danger.

From the devastated American South to the vast ranchlands of South America, An American Gaucho follows one man's journey from war and loss toward friendship, adventure, and the possibility of a new beginning.

If you enjoy Western adventure, historical fiction, horses, cattle drives, frontier action, and stories about starting over after war, An American Gaucho takes you on a journey across two worlds.
