Preacher is no hired killer. When a wagon train is ambushed on the Santa Fe Trail, though, he can’t say no to the St. Louis businessman willing to pay him for justice.

And it’s not the missing body of one of the wagon train’s crew, a prime suspect who may have plotted the ambush and taken off with the gold. No, it’s the suspect’s lovely fiancée, Alita Montez. She believes her boyfriend is innocent—and has run off to find him. Preacher can’t abide the idea of a young woman alone on the Santa Fe Trail.

Die Stimme von Cochise klang düster. "Ich habe immer Frieden gewollt. Die Leute von San Vincente aber wollen Kampf. Sie sollen ihn haben." Auf den Dächern der Adobebauten tauchten Männer mit Gewehren auf. Wir griffen ungeachtet des Kugelhagels an. Unser Kriegsgeschrei ließ die Luft erzittern. Im Kirchturm läutete die Glocke. Wir galoppierten durch die Hauptstraße. Das peitschende Stakkato der Schussdetonationen, unsere grellen Schreie und das dumpfe Hämmern der Pferdehufe wurden zu einer grauenvollen Melodie der Vernichtung und des Todes.

Schussdetonationen rissen mich hoch. Von Westen jagten die mexikanischen Skalpjäger heran. Die Einschläge ihrer Kugeln wirbelten rechts und links von mir Staub auf.

Das Tagebuch eines Mannes, für den Blut, Leid und Verzweiflung zum Alltag geworden waren.

Ich saß in der Falle. "Lass das Gewehr fallen", sagte der Mann hinter mir. "Du lebst nur noch, weil du blondes Haar hast und kein richtiger Apache bist. Weil ich dich brauche." Ich sah, wie die Krieger starben, meine Brüder, die mich hätten befreien können. "Du bringst mich hier raus. Wenn ich sterben muss, stirbst du mit mir", sagte der Mann. "Wenn wir überleben, hole ich mir Ihren Skalp", antwortete ich. Das war ein Versprechen - und ich würde es halten. Das Leben als Indianer lag hinter Ronco. Zum zweiten Mal verlor er seine Heimat.
