This is a story that takes place in the United States after the Civil War draws to a close. It follow a returning Confederate soldier through the country ravaged in war to return home only to find it destroyed and his young wife killed. He learns who is responsible and in a determined rage, sets out on a quest through the West to track down his wife's killer and exact his justice. Along the way he overcomes betrayal of a friend, getting hung, dying in the desert, and becomes a man totally different than when he left the war.
I like historical fiction, particularly of this era. It is a mistake to make that period right after the Civil War into heroic tales of gunfighters, outlaws and Indian killers. There are much more human stories to be told than John Wayne portrayed in his movies. Even True Grit.
An excerpt would be helpful for determining how you write. I would change that second sentence to, "The book follows…"
