'When Confederate officer Brady Brandau returns to Mississippi at the end of the War Between the States, he finds his family estate devastated and his relatives dead or missing. It is then that
he decides to continue the war in his own way and heads west, accompanied by Ann Gilcrease, a beautiful Confederate spy. The phantom legion that they gather in Arizona Territory cannot even be
proven to exist, but their mayhem is having a serious impact on the mining community around Tombstone. Federal agent Alexander Thorne has been assigned to investigate a major raid on a military
arms shipment. He hooks up with Paddy Burnett, an undercover operative for the Wells Fargo Company which has incurred numerous losses at the hands of a mysterious band of road agents. While
Tombstone is torn between Sheriff Johnny Behan, who some say is an ally of the outlaws, and the Earp brothers, who do their own law enforcement, Thorne and Burnett become involved with the same
woman--who may not be what she appears to be.' -- p. [4] of cover
