Description:

Based loosely on the true story of Cattle Kate and her husband (who were hanged as cattle rustlers from a cottonwood tree near the Sweetwater River in the late 1800's), The Last Gunfighter tells the story of haunted U.S. deputy marshal John Bronson.

A bloody and deadly gunfight in Laramie, Wyoming pushed John into solitary retirement from his law enforcement career. Now panning for gold in the mountains of Wyoming , an ominous letter from his sister brings him back to active duty, for she tells him that the Stock Grower's Association is finding reasons to hang homesteaders and drive them off their land.

His sister and her husband have already been wrongfully lynched by the time he arrives, but he learns that their son has been taken captive. Now it's up to him — and his gun — to rescue his nephew and end the murderous rampage once and for all.

Excerpt:

Bronson rode closer. His back was straight; stained hat pulled low; and his left hand draped down by his leg.

"Well; I'll be damned; he's carrying a gun;" the Kid said; taking his tie-down off his pistol's hammer. "An he's left-handed. You ever hear of a left-handed gunfighter?"

"I might of; but I don't recall right this instant;" Cletus said; licking his lips.

The two men spread their feet and let their arms hang. The Kid grinned at Cletus as Bronson rode up to the front of the porch. "Before you make a mistake; you better know? I'm the Rimrock Kid." He stuck his chest out.

"I guess that means I should kill you first," Bronson said in a low voice.

Customer Reviews:

The Last Gunfighter is a western fit for fans of the genre. The characters jumped from the page into my imagination. I could picture the action,
countryside and heartache for the gunfighter. Hunting down the killers of his sister and brother in-law, sets him on a cross Texas trip that is rife
with peril. Well worth the read and it belongs on your book shelf.
