Texas John Slaughter: Volume 1
關於這本電子書
John Horton Slaughter’s life story reads like a history of the American West itself. He’s been a Civil War soldier, a trail driver, a cattleman, and a Texas Ranger. Now Slaughter begins a new chapter—as sheriff of the wildest town in the West.
It’s been barely a decade since the notorious gunfight at the O. K. Corral. Rustlers and outlaws still terrorize the land, and the good citizens of Tombstone are at the end of their ropes. Good thing Texas John Slaughter is the toughest lawman west of the Rio Grande.
With a backbone of steel to match the iron law of his badge, Texas John is determined to bring peace to this parched desert hell even if it kills him. Which it just might. When word gets out about an untapped vein of silver in the Dragoon Mountains, every man in town heads for the hills. The streets of Tombstone are an easy target for raiders, looters—and one gang of outlaws foolish enough to kidnap Slaughter’s own wife.
