The Plainsman

The Posse

The Plainsman – The Posse is the story of Marshal Samuel Jackson and his deputies as they pursue two dangerous prisoners who escape from a prison wagon bound for Huntsville Prison in Texas. Sam Jackson and Les Ferguson begin the chase alone, but are soon joined by two additional men as the pursuit grows more urgent. The trail leads deep into northwestern Texas, where loyalties shift and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur. In an unexpected turn, two of the prisoners return to the prison wagon, while the other two continue riding with the escapees. What follows is a relentless pursuit marked by shootouts, Apaches, hostages, and unexpected twists at every turn, as the posse races to bring the fugitives to justice and rescue the girl abducted by Apache — no matter the cost.

The Plainsman

Western Justice

The frontier is raw, and the law rides thin. The Plainsman – Western Justice tells the story of a lawless frontier. When tracker Stump is left for dead while trailing a stagecoach bandit, it's only the unexpected mercy of a Lipan Apache leader that keeps him alive. But in a land crawling with rustlers and killers, survival is just the beginning. Marshal Sam Jackson has his hands full. The Nate Bellows gang is terrorizing ranchers. A deputy lies bleeding after a failed arrest. A bounty hunter with his own score to settle joins the hunt. And somewhere out there, a deranged murderer named Budge Gunne is carving a trail of blood. As the bodies pile up from San Antonio to Indian Territory, even the legendary Marshal Bass Reeves comes calling for Jackson's help. Luke Red Feather rides to San Angelo to purchase supplies. When he returns, he finds his young son murdered and his wife violated and slain. After burying his family, he sets out to administer his own brand of justice. In a land where justice rides on horseback and mercy is scarce, Sam Jackson must decide how far he's willing to go — and whether he can ignore Luke's vengeance — to bring the law west.

The Lawman

The Ike Branson Story

The Lawman is the story of a young man who joins the U.S. Marshal Service. The book chronicles Wayne Branson's adventures and misadventures as he attempts to bring outlaws to justice. The southwest of the mid-19th century was filled with Indians who were being pushed off their tribal hunting areas, outlaws who stole because they figured it was easier than working, and ongoing border disputes between Mexico and the United States. Deputy Marshal Wayne Branson's function was to protect the weak and bring the lawless class to the court if they would surrender — or kill them if they decided to fight. In the 19th century, good and bad people tend to be indistinguishable at times. Bad men could do bad things and good men could be forced to perform heartless acts. It was a brutal time in our history. Wayne Branson was forced to fight the Indians he sympathized with. He was forced to kill men who left him no other choice. Branson started life in Missouri and brought the culture of honesty, loyalty, and courage with him to the southwest. At times, these attributes and his weapons were the only tools he had.
