They Came to Cordura

Slashing story of a desert warrior who fought his way from HELL to GLORY!

After a cavalry charge during the 1916 U.S. 'war against Pancho Villa,' unheroic awards officer Tom Thorn (who is obsessed with the nature of courage) recommends 4 men for the Medal of Honor. He is ordered back to Cordura with them...and prisoner Adelaide Geary, gringo who sheltered the enemy. On the arduous journey, Thorn's heroes show a different face, and Thorn may have one last chance to prove he's no coward.
