The Spy Company, a Story of the Mexican War by Archibald Clavering Gunter audiobook.
Genre: adventure
In the uneasy years just before the Mexican War flares into open conflict, a young woman who has been polished by New York society learns that her roots lie far from ballrooms and parlors. Raised to be a debutante, she is jolted by loss and driven by a single, urgent question: who is the father she has never met, and what kind of life waits for her on his vast Texas ranch? Her journey west becomes a gauntlet of riverboat passage and frontier roads, where steamboat gamblers, smooth-talking swindlers, and desperate outlaws circle like vultures. With the borderlands turning volatile, she is forced to rely on the hard protection of Texas Rangers and U.S. soldiers, including the formidable Captain Sharpe Hampton, whose courage is matched by his wariness of secrets. As rumors of spies and coded loyalties thicken, the road carries her toward Matamoros and its dangerous allure, where a dancing girl named Carmelita and other shadowy figures hint that the war is being fought not only with rifles, but with deception. By the time the ranch is finally in sight, she must decide whom to trust, and whether the truth she has chased is worth the price of learning it.
