Description
Sgt. Jack Barlow has survived nearly 4 years of the Civil War to find his homecoming is not all that he'd hoped. The family farm is in disrepair and his father an invalid. After 2 months of hard work, his brother returns from the war and is willing to take over. Jack has decided farming life is not for him, so he sets out for the West, spurred on by a lost love, to see if it really is the promised land he'd heard so much about. He is joined by others like him, looking for something but not knowing just what that is. After trying their hand at various adventures that take them all the way to California, Jack and one partner find themselves backtracking to a newly formed Ft. Robinson in Nebraska Territory. Here, they put down roots and start a cattle ranch that prospers except that it lacks one necessary item, namely, feminine companionship. They must try to re-kindle old flames, or advertise for mail order brides.
