"Wagons West TEXAS!" by Dana Fuller Ross 5th in Series Paperback

The sweeping saga of America's great expansion and the invincible men and women who braved the unknown peril of the vast frontier. Ever onward! They came from a young nation's East and West, from around the world-to claim new lands, new loves, new lives. TEXAS! The bold new Republic is fighting for its life. Ready to rally to the cause of Texas liberty are the stalwart settlers of Oregon! And as a band of Oregon volunteers makes the treacherous journey through Mexican territory, Cathy Blake joins her husband, veteran commander Lee Blake, to lead a wagon train of future settlers from the East. Branded as invaders by the Mexican army, these brave Americans daringly defy outlaws, Indians and fiery vendetta... while the ruggedly handsome young captain Rick Miller holds the destiny of Texas in his hands, and love for another man's woman in his heart. copyright 1980 Bantam Book Printed in USA 356 pages
