"Determined to find his lost love - the beautiful Irish widow Cait - Sam hopes again to be transported to the nineteenth century. Soon he's riding the rails as a tramp, tangling with the Sioux, tracking through the James brothers' territory, and heading west with gold rush fever victims. Peopled by such unforgettable historical figures as the real Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) and General Custer, and filled with vivid period detail, Two in the Field once again takes us back to the years when America and our great national pastime were young."--BOOK JACKET.
