Of the three, Johnny Yuma was the most elusive. A Confederate soldier during the war, he was about to play a key role in Grant's victory, Lee's surrender, and Custer's deadly campaigns.

They stole Rush Bonner's horse and left him afoot in mighty wild country. But Bonner was tough: he recovered his mount and left the thieving rider for the coyotes. But it caused him more trouble than he could shake a stick at. First, there was the head wound and the jail cell. Then the escape - with a dead sheriff left in his office, and ten thousand dollars missing. And the posse who hunted him were given orders: 'Take him, dead or alive - preferably dead.' He surely wished he'd stayed in Texas!
