Integrity, redemption, loyalty woven into a great western story with a great ending.could be a great series with a prequel or two and generational sequels.Flaws are few but irritating for such a great tale. As pointed out by an earlier reviewer, weaponry probably would not include Colt revolvers and should include edged weapons.1. The spelling is spell checker homophonic.2. the first revolver was patented in 1836 the year of the story.  pepperbox handguns were available in 18303. Telegraph was first used in 1838 and only between Baltimore and Washington D.C.4. The battle of New Orleans was January 8, 1815, only 21 years before the year of the story.5. the battle of the Alamo ended early in March 1836.In my opinion, there was no need to use any reference to the Defenders of the Alamo, telegraph, or to make the Raiders any older than sixty, marking the age of the Eldest Raider at 39 at the time of the Battle of New Orleans.
