THE REBEL: The Men of Pride County --- this is the story of Nobel Banning -- finally we find out what happened when he [and his men] were captured and put in Point Lookout Prison.

Noble becomes focused on finding out who betrayed them and brought about their capture. What a shocking revelation!

Colonel John Crowley invites Major Banning to secure the release of him and his men just for serving out the war in the western frontier fighting against the marauding Indians. Col. Crowley is impressed with the horsemanship of the southern boys.

Major Banning finds the proposition very galling. Can he make such a decision for his men. Could he afford to let them die in this northern prision? How many has he lost already?

Juliet Crowley thinks her father has taken leave of his senses in thinking he can control these southern rebels. They are not trained soldiers and she fears they will turn on her father the first chance they get.

Captain Donald Bartholomew, is Major Banning's second in command, and against becoming a Union soldier. But what real choice do they have. The red-headed unit's chaplain, George Allen, consels discrestion and a chance to return home as free men.

Bartholomew's neat reply is "Major Banning, we done followed you into hell, why not back out again?" And he takes his ill suited wife Maisy along and creates his own living hell.

Now follow Juliet's learning of Noble Banning's honor and that he is a man of his word and how her heart tricks her into falling in love with the Major. And how Noble nearly get his heart broken when Juliet has to leave.

Another fantastic story set in New Mexico before Noble Banning can return to Pride County to take up his interupted life.

And we find that he has won the case for Hamilton and Starla Dodge.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED along with the first 2 - suggest you keep the whole set. They are great!
