Gone to Dallas : the storekeeper, 1856-1861
(Book)

In the title, Texas is crossed off and Dallas written below it.

"A story of migration, betrayal, challenges, and determination salted with true Texas history."

"It had seemed so romantic when Morgan Darnell courted Sara in Tennessee, finally convincing her they should marry and join an 1856 “Gone to Texas” wagon train traveling along the “Trail of Tears,” through Indian territory, and across the Red River into Texas. Sara arrives in Dallas a nineteen-year-old widow--armed with plenty of pluck--determined to open a general store in the tiny settlement of log cabins on the Trinity River. But Dallas is an untamed world of cattle chasers, buffalo hunters, freighters, lawyers, and a bordello madame set on taking over the town. Can Sara overcome her own uncertainty, vandalism, threats, and being gun shot?"--,Back cover.
