Two Guns and an Anvil: The one dollar Marshal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983638824)

The year was 1877. There was a lot of activity in the little river town of Springfield in the Dakota Territory. Things were rapidly changing in the area and it seemed that Springfield was the hub. Not all was not without trouble in this river town since across the river lurked a gang of notorious cutthroat outlaws known as the Devil's Nest Gang. These outlaws not only robbed banks and were responsible for the deaths of many innocent people but they provided safe haven to many of the criminal element on the owl hoot trail (for a fee of course). U. S. Marshals couldn't penetrate their defenses. Posses in pursuit of this gang never returned. Despite this, there was a fragile peaceful co-existence between these two communities until one day a son of the leader of the outlaws brazenly attempted robbery and murder of a stranger in broad daylight right on Main Street in Springfield. As the whole community stood by, the son of the local blacksmith, Tovar Cooke, intervened and saved the stranger's life thus incurring the wrath of the outlaws. This wrath caused many to feel that Tovar Cooke picked on the wrong crowd. It wasn't long before the outlaw gang started their vengeance against Tovar. First it was the gang leader's son. Then the gang leader sent six men. He sent a professional gunslinger. After he positioned snipers across the river and one bystander was wounded Tovar finally had had it. He was going to go on the offensive!
