When the Civil War devastated the Fortune family of Corvell County, Texas (including the deaths of his mother and twin sisters), Samuel headed out for Indian Territory of what would one day become Oklahoma and took up the outlaw life of robbing banks, trains and freight companies. Inevitably this led to prison. Upon his release and more hardships to come, Samuel discovered that the only way to escape from his unhappy and dangerous life was to acknowledge how far he had departed from God, to make amends for past wrongs, reconcile with those who had loved him, and to accept God's grace, love, and forgiveness. The Long Trail Home is a superbly crafted, deeply inspiring, thoroughly entertaining, highly recommended novel played out against the backdrop of the American frontier.
SAM FORTUNE DISCOVERS THE ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE PAST IS TO FACE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE LEFT BEHIND. War changes people. For the Fortune family of Coryell County, Texas, the changes were drastic. The ranch was lost, mother and twin daughters died, and the family drifted north to the Black Hills; all but Samuel, the middle son. He headed for the Indian Territory that one day would be Oklahoma and settled in to a life of reprisal against any and all that he felt had wronged him or his family. That meant an outlaw life of robbing banks, trains and freight companies. But the Holy Spirit never gives up on one of His own. Having been released from prison, and on the run from former partners who now accuse him of turning on them, Same finds himself broke and on foot in the wild country of western Indian Territory. A story of a family reunion and a heavenly reunion.
