The Moses Calhoun Mountain Westerns are set in the 1860s, during the Civil War years, but far from the Eastern battlefields. The fighting in these books takes place in the mountains of the American Northwest, where soldiers and Native American tribes clash over territory. Moses Calhoun is an independent man who has ties to both sides of the conflict, and that position makes him valuable and vulnerable in equal measure.
The three books, Blood on the Mountain, Death in the Valley, and A Season of Killing, follow Calhoun as he tries to navigate a world where choosing sides could get him killed by either one. Peecher draws on the real history of frontier warfare during the Civil War period, a part of the conflict that most fiction overlooks. The mountain settings give these books a different feel from his Texas and New Mexico stories, with the isolation and harsh terrain adding their own kind of danger.
