In the gathering dusk a shot rang out. Dan Barry's mount stumbled and fell heavily. The men of the sheriff's posse let out a wild yell and closed in for the kill. Dan Barry looked at them with hate. They had shot a horse to stop a man. To Barry that was worse than murder. He talked softly to the thrashing animal. "They'll pay for your death, Molly." He drew his rifle from its scabbard, looked at her one last time and fired. Then Barry swung his rifle up at the approaching horseman. A man settled in the sights. The gun spoke sharply.

It is 1870. In North Texas, there had been three years of peace between the United States Army and the Comanche, led by Quanah Parker. The architect of this peace is General Tracy Cameron, commander at Fort Elliot. During a trip to Washington, D.C., General Cameron gave a speech showing the benefits of peace over warfare with the Plains Indians. Impressed by the speech, Senator Chaffee organized a Congressional mission to the West to look into the possibility of allowing the Comanche to remain on their native lands in peace.
