Joining a wagon train as a hunter/scout, he heads westward into the raging Indian War of 1865. Along the way he earns a reputation as a well-respected fighter, and he must finally decide what kind of man he will be—outlaw, lawman, or perhaps, neither.Rawlins, No Longer Young is guaranteed to stir debate and enlighten readers with the experiences of these turbulent years as seen through the eyes of a young Confederate soldier.

Jess happens to run in to one of the town councilmen and he informs him that the Lockton gang arrived in Kern and had already killed one of the locals and managed to take over the town. Jess finds himself engaged in another battle with a bunch of killers and thugs, but he has help from Starlyn, who is deadly with a six-shooter. The fight begins and blood will spill, but will it be any of Jess’s or Starlyn’s?
