In Terms of Surrender, by Lorrie Farrelly, Michael Cantrell, a former captain the Confederate Army, is devastated by a lost war, young soldiers dead or maimed, and land scarred by battle.  With only his saber, Navy Colt, his black thoroughbred stallion Jet, and his heavy heart, Michael heads west.Determined to buy the ranches in the valley bisected by the Wind River, Colonel Elias Randolph waged a surreptitious war against Annie Devlin to drive her and her ten-year-old brother away from their ranch. When the Colonel's minions, including the nefarious Clay Skinner, decided on more overt tactics, Michael intervenes. While saving Annie's land, he also saves her from a fate worse than death.The story is entertaining, and includes humor, such as the proud Jet put to work pulling a wagon. Michael says since Jet is a Confederate cavalry mount, he's used to being asked to do `dang fool things.' It's also a poignant story, which explores the ravages and hidden scars left by war.
