In a divided nation, a sharpshooter with nothing to lose can change the course of history. Missouri, 1862. Rob Finn has a lot of Confederate blood on his hands. From his humble origins as an Irish immigrant farmer, Rob rose through the ranks to become a special operations sniper with the nickname "Longshot". But even he was powerless to stop the war from stealing the lives of his wife and children....

Rob Finn is joined by William Cody and Lonnie Walters as they begin their journey into the gold country of the west in 1862. Rob meets desperate and unscrupulous men such as Henry Plummer, as well as gentle and generous natives who heal and help the strangers in their land. We learn that the treasures of the earth are sought by greedy men on both sides of the Civil War, while lasting friendships are the goal of and reward for precious few hearty souls.

1862 was the year that the US Civil War underwent a major ramping up. People on both sides of the fight were confused, angry, and hesitant. Most believed the 'war' would have already been over. Very few people realized to what extent the citizenry was being manipulated to participate in the country's most dividing event in its history. In Longshot in Missouri, we meet Rob Finn - an Irish immigrant farmer living in Wisconsin - and follow him through his introduction to the grueling realities of war within a nation.
