When Texas becomes a newly minted state, good men and women work hard toward progress and peace. Texas Ranger Will Smith travels to the borderlands of the Nueces Strip to become the first Sheriff of Starr County. He’ll do what he must to bring justice to the frontier, including wrangling outlaws, navigating political intrigues, fighting Indians, and keeping the tenuous peace between the Tejano and Anglo residents. He encounters influential statesmen and entrepreneurs of early Texas, assists the U.S. Army, and falls for two very different women.This is exciting and authentic fiction based on the author’s own ancestors. It’s a compelling story in readable format for anyone who appreciates Texas history.2023 Eric Hoffer Book Awards Grand Prize Short List and Honorable Mention.
