Clay Bronson is a product of the nineteenth century, half white, half
Cheyenne, neither fitting into the fast pace of the twenty first
century. As an ex-Navy fighter pilot, he returns to his roots in the Big
Horns of Wyoming where he joins his Father and Brother on the rodeo
circuit. Then one day their plane develops engine trouble and they make
a forced landing in New Mexico where they find their counter parts on a
Spanish Land Grant. This is where the story begins, as they follow the
path of the Eagle, as they fly toward their destiny.
