Synopsis
The 1870s. As opposed to the myths of popular
culture, not everybody was swaggering around with
six-irons strapped down and leading lives of
mayhem. But there were the exceptions--every bit
as evil, bloody and deadly as legends portray.
And so too, was the law that handled these
outlaws.
With
an eye toward New Mexico, or perhaps the Arizona
Territories, M D "Shorty" Thompson is a
young cowboy looking for winters warmer than
those of the deep-in-your-bones cold of the Texas
plains. But just north of the former Republic's
border Thompson runs afoul of cattle rustlers and
killers. The ensuing ordeal lands the young Texan
in Wyoming where he crosses paths with the stolen
cattle's illegal new owner,
a retired Army General more crooked than a dog's
hind leg. But crooked or not, the nearby Army
fort carries more weight than local law
enforcement and they are solidly behind the
retired General. So in hopes of finding justice
with a little more backbone, Thompson strikes out
for Washington DC.
But
instead of finding Justice, Thompson himself
becomes justice when President Rutherford Hayes
sees just the Marshal he was looking for in the
gutsy Texan. Now to get the justice he wants,
Thompson must fight the cattle rustlers of the
entire New Mexico and Wyoming territories--all
while wearing a tin star target.
Narrated
in the authentically seasoned dialect of a
southwestern storyteller, this first volume in
the Marshal Thompson series begins a tribute to
the thrilling and heartbreaking hardships of our
nation's western history. Accurately
reconstructing the sweeping landscapes of the old
west, these novels document the times and
historical locations largely ignored by writers
who have not been there. Paul L Thompson actually
has been there, and you will feel like you were
there, too.
