Marshal of Medicine Lodge

By: Stan Lynde

Narrated by: Stan Lynde

There are a few white settlements, including Fort Custer on the Bighorn River, a trading post or two, a couple of missionaries, and the town of Medicine Lodge, some 20 miles south of the new Crow Agency. There are two big cow outfits in the area and a couple of small ranches, all trespassing on tribal land. There are a dozen or so farmers along Medical Lodge Creek, and they're trespassing, too.

The Crow Indians are on short rations, and hungry. Every now and then, they steal a steer or two from the cowmen. The cowmen strike back and steal the Crows' horses. Once in a while, somebody gets shot. Even so, it is a marvel the situation isn't a whole lot worse, considering that red men and white men don't understand each other at all. They have mostly gotten along well...until lately.

MARSHALL OF MEDICINE LODGE

This is a western mystery. This is about Merlin Fanshaw. Merlin goes to help Sheriff Jeff Brown in Medicine Lodge. Medicine Lodge is made up of White men and Indians. A big powerful rancher thinks he owns everything and controls everything. His son is spoiled. He pushes his weight around and causes prolbems. Jeff and Merlin tries to get him convicted but his daddy's money and power makes it hard. Jeff gets framed for a killing and Merlin has to prove he's innocent. I really liked this book. I will listen to more books about Merlin and listen to this one again later. Stan Lynde does a great job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below.
