When you grow up living in the shadow of a great man, one tends to follow the leader. How true this was with me. My Mother wanted me to be a Doctor or Preacher... "Someone she could be proud of," she said. I often wondered why she married a gun slinger. Well my father wasn't a regular gunfighter he was an appointed U S Marshall by the Governor. Shot by a Marshall or shot by a professional gunslinger, Mother said: "One was just as dead." Oh well, I become a chip off the ol' block and became one of the fastest guns in the west. Against all of my mother's wishing and teaching I had killed four men before I was sixteen year of age. I knew my father and mother was giving me their seal of approval the night he penned a star on my vest and I went for the shooter that left my father paralyzed. A western novel you will read and tell others, it's that good. That's right, Charlie Barnett just keeps coming up with the best.

Broken down and battle-weary after the Civil War, nineteen year-old Bill Allen returns home to Atlanta, only to find his parents dead and the family home burned to the ground. His dreams of getting married and building a home for himself are crushed when he learns his girlfriend has eloped to Pensacola with his first cousin. After spending two years fighting Yankees, it seems he's left with nothing. Thinking back over his days as a Confederate Soldier, Bill recalls the adventurous stories his friends told around the campfires, about the Wild West. With an attitude a city block long, and a chip on his shoulder, he heads west on his horse, Buddy, with nothing but the clothes on his back, and a Navy Colt strapped around his waist. Not long into his journey, Bill encounters two horse thieves who try to steal Buddy. Two shots later he finds himself $6,000 richer, from their bank robbery loot. When Bill stops at a farm house to borrow a shovel to bury the two dead thieves, he meets Mary - at the end of a Kentucky rifle. Later that evening they are properly introduced over a supper of fried rabbit and black coffee. Not your typical western, Georgia Cowboy isn't about cattle drives or filled with cowboy jargon; Bill's four letter words are Hope, Love, and Work. However, trouble does find Bill, every step of the way, in this action-packed adventure.
