A WLC Western About the U.S. Marshal Service/A Businessman/Ranches
WLC has penned a western novel (41) in the Hunt U.S. Marshal Series. The office gets involved in thr e major murder investigations and the murders those men committed. Hunt sells one farm to his brother while expanding the ranches in Utah. The trips back and forth across the western states keep the Marshals worn to a frazzle. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS
Great writing Mr. Cox. Very interesting characters and great story. Enough action to keep you happy. Glad to read of Hunts success in his endeavors to create a good future for his family. As usual waiting on the next book in this series. Would highly recommend this series to everyone that enjoys a great western story.
Great read and a great story. More action by Hung was refreshing. Horse continues with his antics and takes a few mins by Grey Wolf. You cowboy fans will surely enjoy this book. So, "Giddy up."
I am a fan of this series!!! I can see plenty of spin offs with Horse and Gray Wolf!!! Charles is getting older and Hunt will be retiring also! Me Cox, please keep us entertained as airways, just a thought from an addicted fan!!
Anyone who likes westerns will love these books.I have read one through fourth one and won't quit till I read them.I read one on hunt and one on storm warrior to keep up on both.Enjoy, you'll be glad you do!
Not only volume 40 but in looking ahead there are other volumes missing. ,40 was apparently a major story in Utah. You need to get these missing volumes added.... bvj5169@yahoo.com
I am enjoying the series but missed volumes really hurt the story.
Thank you W L Cox for writing these great books on Hunt. I really enjoy reading these books . I have read everyone of them and look forward to many more.
I think we can call U. S. Marshal Hunt a gentleman rancher/farmer. He running these ranches and farms plus his position as U. S. Marshal in charge of the Denver Office. His team of U. S. Marshal are men to ride the river with. They work as a team when they go out on assignments. They don't stand for discriminatory behavior from any of the business owners they interact with, especially when these owners refuse to serve Gray Wolf, who is a U. S. Marshal, these owners seem to say there aren't any Indians who are U, S. Marshal, much as they said about U. S. Marshal Bass Reeves, a man of color. This particular adventure includes trailing owlhoots, murderers and a veteran who fought in the "War Of Anarchy" between the North and the South, has turned into an a sharp shooting ambusher murdering cowboys who are riding the trail by themselves, or working on some lonesome field on a ranch and he just shoots them. Hunt continues to improve and expand his ranching empire which consist over six hundred thousand acres, that's a lot of land..he made a remark that if he had a chance to continue his education he would have enjoyed the career as a mechanical engineer...he has a good head for statistics. He's also helping his brother, since this is all the family he really has, this meeting of his poor mistreated brother who was released from a prisoner of war camp located in Washington, D. C. with just the clothes on his back, and no idea what to do or how he would survive. Since they worked half to death, starved them also. Just another feather that Hunt can add to his feather of helping people...nothing wrong with that..
