Book summary

In this final volume in McMurtry's Berrybender Quartet, the haughty Lord Berrybender and his entire family are arrested in Santa Fe as war between the US and Mexico looms in the near distance. Forced into exile, the family (including servants) treks across the desert to Mexico--a harsh and exhausting journey that severely reduces their number. But Sin Killer, Tasmin Berrybender's husband, comes to the rescue and lands the group safely in Texas. This windup to McMurtry's frontier series encompasses the siege of the Alamo, the explanation for the mysteries raised in earlier volumes, and the appearance of several real-life characters, including Kit Carson and Davy Crockett.
