I like the fact that the author served in Special Forces (stationed at Wiessbaden 1966), and had "conservative" values--as a public school teacher and coach while writing TV scripts ("Lonesome Dove") and Westerns.

The story is set in the Oklahoma panhandle -- dusty and not. Holt Flynn is an outlaw without anything to show for it, and no hopes. A dying Cherokee (!) Chief gives him a proposition and speaks of gold hidden in the highlands of Georgia. An band of misfits heads east on what turns into an odyssey.
