A young widow surviving on her own in Yankee-occupied St. He’s tired of the war and knows that it will end quickly once the Confederacy runs out of food. Tree Hooker will take on anythingman, animal, or force of naturethat stands in the way of his cattle drives during the Civil War. He soon realizes that there is no such thing as civilized warfare in the palmetto scrub. Augustine, she finds hope and love in an unlikely placeGreenley’s arms. Plenty of others also want those herds. A few people try to keep their humanity despite being surrounded by the horrors of war. Assigned to lead a group of tough, sun-baked cow hunters, he sets out to supply the South with beef from the herds on Florida’s plains. There are the Yankees, led by men like Major Dan Greenley. But he’s also a fast learner. But hope and love can’t shield Doris from the savagery that rules on the palmetto plains.. He’s a Confederate soldier trying to save his country from starvation. Doris Brava is one of those. Greenley is new to Florida and still believes in fighting by the rules of civilized warfare
Then there are men like Union Major Dan Greenley who set the palmetto plains ablaze to stop the cattle drives. Augustine home is Greenley's haven from the hell of war. Guns of the Palmetto Plains plunges the reader into the last agonizing years of the Civil War. But, before anyone can put aside hatreds bred by years of conflict, everyone must reckon with the Brockton clan, renegades who are happy to sell their gunslinging to either the North or South and see the war as only a good excuse for murder -- or worse! -- Midwest Book Review.

Entertaining with a strong dose of adventure and history A Customer Guns of the Palmetto Plains is an entertaining and well-written cowboy saga set in a location which readers would not expect. Little known in comparison to the beaches, cattle have been and still are a major part of Florida's history, with this particular story set in the latter portion of the Civil War. The characters are captivating as well as believable in the context of the harshness of their lifestyles. The descriptions of the swamp and forest topography of East Central Florida and its history are woven into the chain of events in a way that is especially interesting to those of us. "The real Florida" according to Evelyn C. Rick Tonyan has done a superb job in blending fact and fiction. His description of the area is very accurate. One can visit many of the places mentioned - Volusia County, Palatka, St. Augustine - all have places mentioned in the book that are still very much in use.It is the end of the Civil War. The cattle needs to be moved to help feed the Confederacy. The challenges of doing so makes for interesting reading. Some of the area described has changed very little. Granted, power poles and lines grow next to major paved highways. However, many roads are still sand. There are still swamps a. A Florida I never knew about. Richard J. Bevan This book really opened my eyes as to what the most Southern of our Confederate states was like during the War of Yankee Aggression (Civil War for those of you North of the Mason-Dixon line). Although not a big fiction reader, It is obvoius that this book is well researched and makes up for the fictional dialogue with more than enough historical content to keep a reader like myself turning pages. Ths book is an eye-opener about the deepest of the deep South. The story seems more like the badlands of Idaho than 1860's Florida. Definitely not the modern day "sunshine state"in any way.
