Forgotten Hero

A Story of Creed Taylor

He is one of the first Texas Rangers and may be the most fascinating man in the history of Texas. Creed Taylor fights in the War for Texas Independence, the Mexican-American War, the Great Comanche Wars, the Civil War, and the bloody Sutton-Taylor feud. Yet, he was a complex man who wanted nothing more than peace. It seems every time he thinks he is going home to be with the love of his life, Nancy, Texas calls him back to his guns. This story follows him from childhood, through his teen years, and into adulthood with the challenge of raising children who bring him both pleasure and pain. And, then there is his best friend, the deadliest man in Texas, John Wesley Hardin. But in all the pressures of war and Reconstruction, he presses toward a life without violence. Can he ever find it?
