RIDING THE TRAILS OF DEATH
Tilden Hayden, Carlton J. Cecil U.S.Marshals are on the trail of some of the West worse killers. I should also include Billy Bird also U.S.Deputy Marshal who was knifed by one of the gang members and died on the spot. He was buried on Pine Mountain, Arkansas; life as a U.S.Marshals under the directions of Judge Issac C. Parker of the Indian Territories and beyond. These Marshals put their lives on the line each time they put their boot in their stirrups and ride out searching for these horrific, wicked murderers, to either bring back to Fort Smith to stand trial before Judge Parker aka"The Hanging Judge." This story doesn't hide any of the horrors that these men faced. This Dawson Gang led by Maynard Dawson, those men that were in that gang had no boundaries; crucified, raped and whatever their demented minds conjured up. Tilden Hayden and Carlton J. Cecil did what they had to do and kept it going. IT was kill or be killed. While reading this adventure, the characters scared me, and I hoped that these brave warriors of the law were able to catch these horrible men, and be able to return home to their loved ones alive, possibly they were wounded but they would live but they needed rest and time to heal...Both mentally and physically...

Book four, I read the first three, just contagious!
Most western seem to use a formula and I suppose these do too, but it's darn good formula. Twists and turns and everything does not always turn out right. Helps me that I have been to much of Oklahoma in my own past. Not perfect, but pretty close.

I continue to enjoy this series. In this story, Hayden takes on the bad guys again. It's entertaining, full of memorable characters and keeps you wanting more.

Love it
I might be a throwback but I can't help but agree with Tilden about what should be happening to "murderous sonsabitches".

Had a ball
Had a ball reading this. .I did wonder about our hero's bride and her demise in the future. And that I'd rather eat cake.
