Two for the Price of One

This book consists of two stories. The first Two for the Price of one follows two brothers who return from the civil war to find their father's ranch being foreclosed on by carpetbaggers from the north. A desperate act on their part is required to save it and with the help of a cantankerous old judge and the men they traveled home with they set about their plan. Since an agent from the government was stealing the land they thought it only right that money from the government payroll could be used to buy it back.
The problem was that payroll money was traveling on a train guarded by a carload of soldiers and guards in the baggage car. The second story is about a wounded vet trying to recover his memory of the day, he carried a letter from one of his comrades. It was the letter that many men write before going into action and in this case the writer did not return. Having the blood-stained letter weighed heavy on him and when he was released he went searching for her in vain.
It was a chance meeting that brought her into his life but it was too late he was already in love with her. With the help of a persistent doctor and a reluctant woman, he managed to fight through the fog of that day.
