Deputy Bart

Bart Fulton feels compelled by fate to pin on a deputy’s badge in Arizona Territory’s Plain Creek. The young twenty-two-year old has drawn an almost impossible first challenge – putting an end to the evil and murderous ways of criminal Weed Meadows.

Weed doesn’t bat an eye killing innocent people and threatening others. He wants to expand a silver mine he stole. To do that he’ll have to get land from two families, the Lees and the Rileys. There’s one problem – both families have been feuding for years. Bart knows about Weed’s nefarious plans. But convincing the Lees and the Rileys and getting them to stop fighting among themselves is another challenge.

Deputy Bart Fulton will have to use his courage and wits to be successful. He’ll also need a different kind of nerve to court one of the Riley women, Lucinda, a shy girl who is smitten with the deputy.

Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.

Note: Each book in the Post-Civil War Western Justice series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.
