Rabbit Ear Mountain

Most who fail have nothing to prove, but when you are the direct descendant of a Texas Legend you do and failure is not an option. Randolph (Randy) John Cahill III knows what the Cahill Family Dynasty expects of him regarding his fitness to wear the mantel of leadership. He is fully aware of his ancestors, Carroll John Cahill and Katherine Tipton Cahill, who in 1832 forsook their Tennessee home to lead a Company of pioneers into a hostile and unknown area of the Louisiana Purchase territory. Their mission, secretly sanctioned by the seventh President of the United States, was essential to the Westward expansion of the Nation. In the process, they implemented and successfully completed the President's plan to establish a United States presence on the frontier. For mission accomplished, they received a land grant of 1500 square miles by way of a Presidential Executive Order. The grant is the origin of the Diamond Bar C Ranch which is the basis for the Cahill Family Dynasty created for their progeny and future generations.

Randy is determined to show he possesses the steely mettle of his forefathers and to prove he will be ready when called upon to fulfill his obligation. Along the way, several unrelated events create intrigue and drama in the lives of Randy, his family and friends. The manner in which Randy behaves portend testament to his fitness as the family heir whose leadership and contribution will greatly promote and enhance the legacy of the Cahill Family Dynasty.
