Wyoming trails A western story

"Ryan Shanley, a former Union soldier, starts a new life in Wyoming Territory unprepared for the struggles he will face, but determined to build the ranch of his dreams"--

Ryan Shanley, who prefers to be called Shan, is an ex-soldier who served in the Union army during the Civil War and has a land grant for two square miles of land in Wyoming Territory. On a stage to Tico, the town nearest his ranch, he meets Sarahlee Gordon, who is on her way to sell the cabin that belonged to her deceased uncle, with whom she spent her summers for many years. The attraction between the two becomes obvious on the stage and grows after they arrive.
