It has been a year since the American Civil War ended. The fighting may have stopped back east, but it has begun anew along the US/Mexican border. To the north, Apaches and Comanches fight to maintain their way of life. To the south, Mexico keeps a cautious eye on the ever expanding might of the United States. And everywhere, bandits, outlaws, and corrupt lawmen continue to pillage villages and rob banks.
Climb into your saddle and make your mark on one of the wildest places in the west. Join the US army and become an honest man, or lend your hand to a bandit chief for a fistful of dollars.
