Black Star

The War Between the States has ended, but not so the prejudices between the Races. Eager to leave the ruins of the South, and their collective past behind them, a group of emancipated Negroes embarked on an exodus to what they hoped would be a safe haven near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Together, they established the community of Lincoln, California. As others joined them, they built a proper town adjacent the mountain pass used by the Postal Service to carry mail to the West Coast. Yet, even here, a thousand miles from the still blood-soaked battlefields of the Civil War, they are hounded by the agents of greedy and ruthless men seeking to deprive them of their hard-won lands - and their lives. Sheriff 'Henri' Johnson is the lone peacekeeper for the town of Lincoln - a job no one else wants, and no one else is as capable of doing. The young Sheriff has attained a level of skill with the revolver that would have made her a legend - were she not a woman, and a Negro. After being wounded in a gunfight, Sheriff Henri Johnson struggles to rebuild her confidence, and her skills, before an even more dangerous foe arrives, Hell-bent on destroying the entire town, and its people.
