Riding The Texas Bloodline (Ol' Tascosa Western)

By: Jack R. Stanley

The Texas tough town of Tascosa is gone. But tales of its rowdy day and raucous nights remain. In the Texas Panhandle across the state line from Lincoln County, New Mexico, it was wide open to drifters, drovers, soiled doves, gamblers, thieves, cheats, outlaws and halfbreeds. Said to be rougher than Dodge City, Tascosa was home to a few adventurous souls but also a way stop, hideout, or new beginning for many others. The town's first lawman, Hayman Michell, was an unlikely choice for a law dog. Half owner of a full-service saloon, he was a man, like many in those days, with a mysterious and shady backstory. And yet Hayman took on the badge - only moments after a double murder just up the street at Miss Pretty's cathouse. In a town full of possible killers, Hayman searched for the killer while trying to bring the beginning of law and order to a town that didn't really want it. All the things that made the Old West wild and wholly were the stuff of Old Tascosa - where blood flowed into the boardwalks, hardwood floors, and soaked the very soil of Texas.
