About this listen
In the days of reconstruction after the Civil War, a wild strip of land in Northern Louisiana remained unconquered by troops and untamed by the law. This is the story of the fearless veterans - Union and Confederate - who dared to enter this beautiful but hellish valley...and finish what the war started.
Red River Valley, 1869. Hoardes of ex-Confederate soldiers have emerged from the piney hills and mosquito-infested swamps of Louisiana backcountry in a final, bloody show of defiance. After a series of violent raids on carpetbaggers, freed slaves, and Northern cargo ships, Captain Douglas Owens of the 4th Calvary is given orders to reclaim this godforsaken land from its murderous outlaw gangs. By Owens' side is Huff, a former slave, and Basil Dubose, an ex-Rebel gunslinger for hire who answers to no man but his paymaster.
With each deadly encounter it becomes clearer to Owens that neither the army nor the public is willing to spill blood for the sake of freed slaves. With his options dwindling, the captain takes a squad of soldiers under his command - in a last desperate bid for freedom and justice that would change the course of history....
