Outlaws, Renegades, and Prickly Pear Jam: Clayton Banner, Arizona Ranger

By Jerry E. Bustin

OUTLAWS, RENEGADES, AND PRICKLY PEAR JAM tells the story of Clayton Banner, a U.S. Marshall from the newly-formed Arizona Territory in the late 19th century. Duty-bound and charged with restoring law to the land, his real motivations rest in the hope of tracking down the owner of an ornate silver Concho, the only clue left by banditos who murdered his first wife and one true love.

Raised by Native Americans, this slow-talking, fast-shooting son of two worlds is continually confronted with the choice to ignore the evil around him, or put an end to those who prey on the innocent.

The job of a U.S. Marshall takes him many places on many adventures: transporting a prisoner through desolate canyons, solving a murder at the Lady Long-Legged Saloon, tracking a united band of murderous natives, overthrowing corruption in a frontier town, and establishing an outpost near the border as the first and only line of defense. Each episode requires cunning, marksmanship, and sacrifice as friends and loved ones are caught up in the conflict. Through it all, Clayton Banner is driven to do what is right and to protect those around him.
