Maintaining law and order in the Old West stood as a major challenge to those who chose to wear a badge. The hours were long. The expanse of the areas under a lawman’s jurisdiction was huge. Although the responsibilities fell to the most qualified, no formal guidelines or standards were in place. In Tall Tales from the High Plains & Beyond, Book Two: The Law Keepers, novelist Tom Rizzo introduces you to a courageous, sometimes innovative, and mostly persistent cross section of those who figured out the best way to do the job on their terms. A few others walked both sides of the law.

  • One of the Dalton brothers who didn’t break the law. He chose to enforce it.
  • Jack Slade who lay in the dirt bleeding from six bullet wounds and two shotgun blasts, but lives to reap revenge.
  • A rare town square showdown between Wild Bill Hickok and gambler Davis Tutt to settle a poker game argument.
  • Tom “Bear River” Smith, the town marshal who wore no gun while patrolling the streets of Abilene, Kansas, dubbed, the Wickedest & Wildest Town in the West.
  • Sheriff Harry Morse and his courageous one-man showdown with a feared killer and his gang.
  • Texas Ranger Jim Gillett who risked everything by riding into a Mexican village to capture the man who killed his friend.  
  • George Maledon, a small quiet man with dark eyes, known as the Prince of Hangmen.
