Calder grit
(Book)

Sequel to: Calder brand.

Trying to calm tensions, an ambitious young mill owner agrees to marry the daughter of a homesteading family in 1909 Montana after his spoiled half-brother took advantage of her.

1909. A battle rages in Blue Moon, Montana, between immigrant homesteaders and cattlemen determined to keep the range free. Some believe Benteen Calder is stoking the flames for his own gain. Blake Dollarhide, owner of Blue Moon's lumber mill, steps in when his half-brother takes advantage of the daughter of a homesteading family, and gives the unborn child his name. When the war between the factions rages anew, everyone wonders if Blake will stand by the close-knit community he serves, or the wife he took in name only. As a strong bond grows between Blake and Hanna, it will take courage and grit to overcome the differences between them. And even greater strength of will to put down roots in this wild new country. -- adapted from jacket.
