Rustler's Bend by Will Ermine

This was fun. I think this was my first Will Ermine but I will watch the used book shelves for more of his. He used an interesting idea of having the main protagonist be overshadowed by another character before he comes to the fore half way through the book to solve the mystery.

Rustlers' Bend by Will Ermine

A very fun, action-packed Western about a small town experiencing a gold rush. Cattle is being rustled and prospectors are being robbed and killed. The aging Sheriff, his young deputy, and his daughter who run the local newspaper are among those trying to set things right.

Fun, atmospheric and well written.

The legend makers : tales of the old-time peace officers and desperadoes of the frontier by Harry Sinclair Drago

An ordinary collection of Law-making and breaking in frontier America. It has the virtue of being mainly true.

The legend makers: Tales of the old-time peace officers and desperadoes of the frontier by Harry Sinclair Drago

Lively story-telling from a writer well acquainted with the era, guaranteed to expand your vocabulary. More than a tale of gunbattles, it is an introduction to the history of the plains in the late 1800s.
