This story is about a land takeover in Texas by a scheming Union major and his two nephews. Unfortunately for them it was the ranch that belonged to John Lee Johnson’s father. The hard-charging Texan leaves his soldierly duties with the approbation of his superiors and returns over many miles, meting out justice and mercy on his way. He encounters many problems and adventures on his way much like Ulysses on his way home from Troy.

John Lee Johnson arose from his position behind the bole of the tree. He had two-Navy sixes in his hands. He looked at the Reverend Simon Finley and said, "Saul was looking for his asses and you like King Saul have found them." He paused and said, "Now drop your weapons or die where you stand."
