Book excerpt: "Eyes of the hawk is a tale of Texan rivalry. Thomas Canfield is a man of substance; a Texan by birth and heritage, he is both decent and hard. Branch Isom is only hard. A newcomer to Stonehill, texas, Isom has earned a fortune carting cotton to Mexican ports during the Civil War. As Isom's wealth and holdings in Stonehill grow, Canfield's suffer. Yet, despite his reversals, Canfield stubbornly holds on to every inch of his hard-won ranch. Antagonists from the first, Canfield and Isom find that their changing fortunes aggravate a long-smoldering enmity. An uneasy truce is maintained until a drunken escapade erupts into gunfire and a man's son is killed"--Page 4 of cover.
