in South Texas. His word is law-one that is dangerous to break.
When seventeen-year-old Bradley Vincent falls in love and secretly

A western novel that follows the life of Buck Duane, a man who
becomes an outlaw and then redeems himself in the eyes of the law.
As Matt was readying a kick to the downed man's bloodied face, the
boom of a shotgun roared in the air. Dropping to one knee Matt
wheeled to his left where the blast seemed to come from. His
pistol, already in his aching right hand, pointed back at the
shotgun holder. It was Dewey Harmon from the livery barn; the
shotgun was pointed past Matt and aimed at the fallen Box T man's
cronies.
"Drop the guns boys if you want to stay in them saddles, next
one won't be in the air," the blacksmith's voice followed his gun
barrel to the chests of one of the Box T riders. Matt stood up and
looked behind him; two of the Box T men had their guns halfway out
of their holsters. Pointing his own six-gun at the one named Patch,
he grabbed the man's shirt and yanked him off his horse
roughly.

THE ADVENTURES OF MARSHAL GABBY TUCKER VOLUME ONE: "FAMILY TIES IN
THE WEST" In this "Western" novel about the Tucker family, their
youngest son, "Lefty" had been kidnapped along with three Indian
children by two really mean and greedy men who intended on selling
them. Lefty was the youngest son of Marshal Gabby Tucker and his
wife Maggie. The Tucker family actually consisted of six separate
Tucker families, and they each also had boys, so there was no
chance of their family name every dying out. The Tucker families
join forces with the Indians in an effort to find their missing
children. All of the Tucker women join in the search for Lefty
also, and are as good with guns as their men and fight by their
sides when needed. One of the Tucker women is a doctor and tends to
all of the wounded with the help of some Indian squaws and two
other Tucker women. The Indians called her "Doctor Jo"; her name
was Jo Ann. All concerned thought that she was an incredible
doctor. Two of the Tucker women, who were mountain women from
Tennessee went out looking for their husbands alone because they
were lonely and feared the worst. They could rough the outdoors and
terrain because of their "Tom Boyish" style. They loved their flat
land men, and wanted to see them alive. The story shows love,
compassion, and desperation, but on the flip side of that it also
encompasses fighting, shooting, torturing, and killing too. There
are so many side scenes along the way through this book; you'll
find yourself laughing and then just minutes later you are brought
to tears. This is an incredibly great book; you won't be able to
put it down Authors: Jeff and Margaret Pyron Book I.D. # 58247
