Title: Rebel Spurs
Summary: "Rebel Spurs" by Andre Norton is a historical novel written in the early 1960s. The story is set in the post-Civil War American West, specifically in Arizona in 1866, and follows Drew Rennie, a recently discharged Confederate soldier. As he navigates the challenges of establishing himself in a town grappling with the aftermath of war, Drew also seeks to connect with his long-lost father, a legendary ranch owner known as Don Cazar, while dealing with the tensions and dangers that come with his past. At the start of the novel, Drew arrives in the struggling town of Tubacca, Arizona, leading his thoroughbred stallion, Shiloh, and a mare that is soon to foal. He adopts the alias "Drew Kirby" to conceal his true identity as he attempts to gain employment on his father’s ranch, Rennie's Range. His recent experience in the war has left him both hardened and troubled, and he must tread carefully to navigate the suspicion of others while proving himself worthy of a position in a place rife with conflict and resentment. The opening sets the stage for Drew’s internal struggles and external actions, establishing a gripping narrative filled with themes of identity, belonging, and the weight of heritage.
