Stand proud -- Eyes of the hawk.

"Stand Proud: Frank Claymore is cantankerous, stubborn, and intolerant--just the qualities that make him a success as an open-range cattle rancher on the West Texas frontier. Stand Proud follows Claymore from the time of the Civil War to the dawn of the twentieth century--through marriage, births, deaths, and a creeping change in the society that once hailed him as a hero, and which later has him condemned as a despoiler and tried for murder. Eyes of the Hawk: Thomas Canfield descends from a line of Texas's earliest settlers. A proud man with a fierce-eyes stare, he inspires the Mexicans of Stonehill, Texas to call him el gavilan -- 'the hawk.' When Branch Isom -- an insolent, dangerous newcomer--seeks to build his fortune at Canfeild's expense, an all-out feud ensues, hurtling the town toward a day of reckoning that will shake the entire town to its very roots."--Publisher.
