Sometimes even the law can go bad. He knew when he had heard the words that it wasn’t going to be an easy task. “Bring in the Patterson’s.” Roy and Orville Patterson, two former deputies who had... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The old West still lives in tales like Ebony Marshal Bitter, brought to life by the vivid imagination of talented author Sean Chandler. The tall men who brought law and order to a wild land return to us in these tales. Without men like Tyler Musler, the west would have remained in the hands of outlaws and men who lived and died by the gun. These men held life cheap and often killed for the mere sport of it so at the risk of their own lives, lawmen made it possible for civilization and safety to settle in these wild lands. Tyler had just recovered from gunshot wounds when a messenger brought word that he was needed to go after the Patterson boys, former deputy marshals gone bad. He was accompanied by three other deputies on this trip, an Indian, a black man like himself and an older white man who did not think they were his equals. Trouble dogged their trail from the outset. Prejudice and suspicion rode with the four men, keeping them on the edge of trouble among themselves. Could this cause the failure of their mission? Will all four return home? Along with the question of whether or not they find their prey, these questions will keep you reading. A book that goes beyond the ordinary shoot 'em up and chases on horseback, you'll come to understand how a hard land makes a hard man if he is to survive. Recommended as a fine read for any western or historical fan. Enjoy. I did.
