Sixth and Congress (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466396333)

Sixth and Congress is about justice. But if you are looking for love, laughter, tears, larger than life characters, high powered action and everything else you want in a legendary western, you will find all those as well. There are lawmen, cowboys, cattle-drives and rustlers, train robbers and gunfights galore. Experience war, floods, pestilence, political battles and religious euphoria. Sixth and Congress also has presidents involved in clandestine operations, secret agents, rousing fistfights, assassins, secret codes, soldiers and much much more. But on the softer side, it shows family love and family ties, friendship, brotherhood, respect, honor and a deep regard for age, race and religion. A royal hero from a foreign land makes a meaningful contribution and you can even find a touch of the paranormal as well. Sixth and Congress is not only about the characters trying to hang on to life and make a good showing for themselves, but to make the most of it for those that follow. This well researched story is based on real people that lived during this time and events that took place from the end of the Civil War up to the turn of the century. The main character, John T. Rankin, grew up around the movers and shakers, the heroes and leaders in Fayette, County, Texas, but it was his attraction to Austin and all the power and glory that it represented that called him to his destiny. John's past left him insecure and searching for a personal definition of justice through the law while trying to stay on the path of righteousness. His journey puts him directly on a collision course with those that already have their own ideas of justice and the law can go along or get out of the way. There is no other western novel like it.
