They were not wanted where they came from. They were not welcome anywhere. They were outcasts, rootless and friendless, until luck or destiny threw them together. A former Apache scout shunned by his tribe, an ex-Union Army major, a former Confederate captain, and two army deserters, all forced to band together to stay alive. That is, as long as they could avoid killing each other. Now they were needed, but could they bury their anger and work together...

They were a rootless bunch, friendless and unwanted, shunned by everyone except each other. They were the Outcasts, a ragged group of men who made their own way through an unforgiving West. They knew what it was like to be hated and recognized injustice when they saw it. So when they saw an innocent black wrangler framed for a murder he didn't commit, it stuck in their craw.

Marie Therese de Paris, driven by the ancestral fires in her spirit, sets out on a vision quest, hoping to save the Blackfoot Indians from their cruel fate. Peter Kipp, bold and ambitious, chooses...

So the boss of the Lazy 8 wasn't about to see a bunch of nesters turn his range into a plowed-up dust bowl.
