Kansas,1875. Picture the great herds of Texas beef and the hard-eyed men who drove them north to railhead. These men built the tough, brawling trail towns: Abilene . Kansas City . Dodge . Towns with a bank, a feed store, a hundred saloons and brothels--and no law. THE LAWBRINGERS is the powerful novel of two men who came west together to make their fortunes. One of them saw America's future on the vast, grassy plains.

One of them saw it reflected in the shining, blue steel of his six-gun.
