An Excerpt from Book 1:

"HE WAS THE LAW EAST OF THE TRINITY"
And the fastest gun in Texas

"Over the years you've heard stories about 'two-gun' Sweeten, the legendary Texas Sheriff who tamed a town with his bare fists; but now for the first time you can read how it was reported in the news-as it happened.
'So please forgive me if I take you back to the past and drag a few skeletons out of the closet. I know that you will be as entertained as I was during this exhaustive and often painstaking research.."
