    Summary

    Bitter from his Civil War service, Steve is an alpha looking to get as far away from the crowded streets of NY as he can. Bucky is an omega looking for a place to belong, having returned to Indiana after the war and found his family gone. Steve has moved west with the intention of establishing a homestead and, unsuccessful in finding a spouse, seeks one in a mail order bride publication. The omega who answers his ad is all promises and Steve buys them, lock, stock, and barrel. Bucky answers an ad himself, desperate for a fresh start and intrigued by the thought of making something where there was nothing before, of creating instead of killing. The alpha he answers says everything Bucky wants to hear: new life, fresh start, successful and happy future. Its enough to get Bucky on a train to the Kansas Territory and onto a future they will make together.
