A Time of Soldiers

The Lears are military men -- officers by act of Congress, gentlemen by nature, Texans in spirit. Joined by the fierce and tender bonds of blood and by a common allegiance to the same ideal, they are, nonetheless, my stories to themselves and to each other.

Jack Lear finds his battle on the Mexican border. A dashing cavalryman, he is revered by his men but not by the generals. For all his dedication and courage, he faces demotion for marrying a beautiful woman of the wrong religious faith.
