Matt Andersen was dead, shot down in a hold up that shocked the small community of Virginiia City, Montana. At least the townsfolk thought he was dead. A case of mistaken identity may have saved Matt's life but I would have to be a life lived in exile. The adventures took him south where he served in the Confederate Army. After the Civil War, he followed his commanding general to Texas to work as a hired gun. Range wars and cattle drives kept him busy, and home life on the ranch was good.
