Publisher's summary
The New Mexico Territory of the 1870s - 1880s was as wild and dangerous as any part of the American west.
Murders were commonplace. Corruption was the norm, and the Santa Fe Ring controlled the courts. Every man went armed and bad whiskey was commonplace, as was over-indulgence.
Rustling was, for many, a way of life. But it was a way of life that threatened the honest ranchers and herdsmen of the time.
Liam Clancy, Irish immigrant and recently-discharged veteran of the Union Army, had lost his young wife and unborn child to cholera. Grieving, he sold his homestead and headed west. More by accident than design, he ended up in Lincoln County of the territory.
This is his story.

After the final battle of the Civil War, Confederate Sergeant Travis Kane rode his Yankee horse away from Palmito Ranch to return to his ranch in Uvalde County. As he began the two-hundred-and-fifty-mile ride across West Texas, Travis was grateful for surviving the long, bloody war without being wounded. But now that the fighting was over, his biggest concern was for his young wife because he hadn’t received a letter from Lillian in almost two years.

One of McNelly's recruits for this task was George Durham, a Georgia farmboy.

For thousands of years, the lonely canyon knew only wind and rain, wild animals, and an occasional native hunter. Then a trapper found a chunk of gold, and everything changed overnight. In six days, a town called Confusion appeared... and on the seventh it could disappear, consumed by the flames of lawlessness and violence. On one side are those who understand only brute force. On the other are men who want law and order but are ready to use a noose to achieve their ends.

In the early 1870's, the young state of Texas was struggling to survive. Its vast, undeveloped land of over 260 thousand square miles became a haven for the lawless. Murderers, rustlers and renegade bands of hostile Indians and Comanchero roamed the vast wastelands of west Texas with only a narrow river separating them from the sanctuary of Mexico. One group of dedicated lawmen stood between this element and the law-abiding citizenry - the Texas Rangers. This is the story of one of those men.

Cowboy stories and movies about the Wild West are full of amazing characters. Yet many of the lawmen we think of as heroes were anything but - some were violent scoundrels and outlaws themselves. Among all the lawmen of the frontier, one man stands out as a true hero: Bass Reeves. In his day, Bass Reeves was the most successful federal marshal in the United States. True to the mythical code of the West, he never drew his gun first. He rounded up hundreds of outlaws and was shot at countless times but was never hit. Bass Reeves was born into slavery.

Even at the age of 14, folks were calling him the youngest bounty hunter in Texas. His pa said he was more man than most men. But now his pa lay dead in a dusty Lubbock, Texas street, back-shot by a wealthy and powerful New Mexico rancher. Over his father's grave he swore to make things right. Neither his age, impossible odds, nor a thousand miles of unforgiving desert would keep Tad Littlejohn from righting a terrible wrong.

Story
Clarence Mulford's classic Western introduces the legendary Hopalong Cassidy and other colorful cohorts from the Bar-20 ranch. While the Hopalong Cassidy of film and TV (portrayed by the silver-haired, avuncular William Boyd) was clean-cut and polished, Mulford's original Cassidy is rough-and-tumble and foul-mouthed, thriving on brawls and gun-fights. Bar-20 depicts Cassidy as he was originally conceived, fierce and free-wheeling, and matches the cowboy hero up against Slim Travennes.

Story
To the wild and fabulous country where the Rio Grande makes its big bend, J. O. Langford came in 1909 with his wife and daughter in search of health and a home. High on a bluff overlooking the spot where Tornillo Creek pours its waters into the turbulent Rio Grande, the Langfords built their home, a rude structure of adobe blocks in a land reputed to be inhabited only by bandits and rattlesnakes. Big Bend is the story of the Langfords' life in the rugged and spectacularly beautiful country which they came to call their own.

Fascinating history of this beautiful land
A very engaging history of the New Mexico Territory. Well researched and founded on the real stories, it will keep you interested and make you better informed. The narrator, Tom Lennon, did an excellent job with this material. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This book reminded me very much of the old Zane Grey novels I used to read years ago. Filled with historic facts and places long before the great SW was settled. This story had a good story line, plot and ending.

An interesting history lesson of the old west
I have to say that I hadn't heard of this author before I listened to this book but I have listened to many of Tom Lennon's stories and I really enjoy his narration. This book was free with a code from Audiobooks Unleashed to listen to on Audible and I decided to give it a try. I also decided to leave a review as I appreciate the opportunity to listen to new authors. Mr. Knapp has taken research from different sources and has given us a story about a man and his life as a newcomer to the American West from Ireland. Leum and his family left Ireland when the land they had worked and lived on for years was taken over by the wealthy landowners and they were given nothing. I believe this happened to many people wanting to escape to the Americas where free land was there for the taking . Things were not quite that easy between war times, the different Indian people's , the Mexicans and cattle rustlers. This book tells Leum's story. It is really interesting and gives us a great look into what it was like trying to live in the late 1890's. It doesn't sound like a history lesson from school but an amazing first hand account of one man's life. And of course I love listening to Mr. Lennon. I was introduced to his narration when I listened to an author, Blair Howard that I love his Harry Stark series. You will not be disappointed in his work.

The notorious Henry McCarty!
As I’ve said before, there’s nothing like a good western to cleanse the palette. I enjoyed the tale. Liam Clancy is a former Union soldier who after the war, lost his wife and baby to cholera, then headed west to the New Mexico Territory. The historical events and names of well-known lawmen, bandits, and ranchers added to the authenticity and feel of the tale; the Lincoln County War, William Bonney, Pat Garrett, William Brady, ranchers Tunstall, Chisum, and Hooker. The writing is crisp and fluid. Tom Lennon did a fine job as the narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A Classic Western.
The Territory. .
As a fan of westerns I rate this audiobook 5 stars. A classic tale of good versus bad guys, shoot outs, cattle rustlers.
Narration is excellent and takes you into the old west.
The author has written a great tale gripping and tense.

Good western with a unique focus on the inner monologue
I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review, and I can say that this audiobook is a positively unique experience. Usually I like westerns due to their description of the external: the arid deserts, the harsh nights, the lawlessness and then increasing legal systems. This book was unique as it focused on the journey and tribulations of the protagonist, as an immigrant facings the sadly everyday issues of loss and hardship. Having a narrator with an Irish accent lended itself well to conveying the main character, although I did have to put the book at a minimum of 1.25 speed to not be distracted by the pacing.
