Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode opens with an outline of Aaron Burr and his Conspiracy to form a new Empire. I then continue the adventure of Zeb as he travels from Presidio Carrizal through the interior of New Spain (Mexico), through Texas, and finally back to the US. There are many adventures and intrigue along the way. I close the episode with the fate of the main cast: the men Pike was forced to leave behind, Wilkinson, Doc Robinson, and Pike. I also talk about the adventure’s lasting impact.
