Exodus in America

Year of our Lord, 1862 Once a desolate plain not even coveted by gaggle of iron-clad warriors, the lands of New Mexico are an extension of some of the most harsh and unforgiving land in America. Deadly scorpions prowl the burrows and undertow where the blazing sun doesn't dare to tread. Water is scarce; and kind men even scarcer. This country is not for the faint-of-heart, and would seem more fitted for one without any heart all-together. Dust-devils and secesh blow through the land alike. Shells and the odd flicker of steel in the distance make herald of impending carnage. NEW MEXICO TERRITORY.
