This is the story of Charles Barnhill and his brothers, Abel and James, devoted peace officers who worked as deputy US marshals in the Indian Territory from 1879 to 1896. Those were the days of the prominent Judge Isaac Parker, the Hanging Judge, whose legendary authority subdued "Hell on the Border". Known among outlaws as "the Bible-believing marshal", Charley never took the life of a fugitive.

In this second book of the They Were Lawmen trilogy, the brothers strive to make sense out of random murder and the greed of the whiskey peddlers. Who will succumb to the inevitable ambush or shoot out: the prey they seek or the man fighting beside them?

When Cotton Cooper was an infant, his mother had him resting on a goose down pillow under an oak tree. The tree was struck by lightning. As a result, his hair is white (the color of cotton). He is a young man now, but his reflexes are ultra fast and he hears and sees sharper than the average person.

The stories written in this book are typical of those found throughout history. The explorers of the old world discovered a continent that was new to them, and they jabbed their flag into the ground and claimed that land for their sovereign. There was no regard for the native peoples of that land. At first, welcoming the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, French, and English onto their shores, the Indians soon discovered that the strangers in their land were not there to live peacefully beside the Indian.

In this exciting adventure, Cotton is joined by Deputy Marshal Frank Golden of Texas, Deputy Marshal Justin Dyer of Cedar Ridge, and riders from the Flying W ranch as they fight Indians and track down the notorious killer Texas Red and his gang of robbers and cattle rustlers and put a stop to their activities that have been plaguing the people of Wyoming for the past several years. Texas Red has gunned down four marshals.

They are so beautiful. I could even see the pilot’s face as he turned. I want to fly! Can I Granny? Can I?”

In this third book of the They Were Lawmen trilogy, Charley and Abe Barnhill struggle to keep white gangs out of their area and to adjust to the onset of a culture bent on wiping out tribal rule. Dragging in more and more criminals, the deputies find the Fort Smith jail bulging to the seams.
