Callaghen
Callaghen by Louis L'Amour
Action, adventure, and conflict in the Wild West.
Callaghen is an army sergeant, coming near to the end of his enlistment. He's on patrol when the green lieutenant makes a mistake, does something to retrieve it, and dies. The patrol mostly makes it, but they discover the lieutenant might not be who he claimed to be.
The story winds on. The reputed gold in the desert; Callaghen's past, including having been a soldier, even an officer, in many lands; an attack on a stage coach; an officer who dislikes the Irish and Callaghen in particular, especially given that the woman he's interested in is here, and knew Callaghen, and more add to the tale.
